What Chrome asks you to allow
From the permissions it declares, Chrome shows no permission warning when you add it.
Derived from the manifest by Chrome's documented rules; the dialog's exact wording depends on your Chrome version and language. Chrome asks again if an update requests more.
What it can reach
No site access is declared in the manifest, so it cannot read the pages you open on its own.

What the store shows
The store shows none of its badges on this listing. Most listings carry none.
Has it asked for more over time?
This is the question a permission list on its own cannot answer. An extension that shipped narrow and widened later is a different proposition from one that always asked for the same thing.
The permissions this extension requests have not changed since we started watching it.
Who publishes it
JustaDude, who publishes 36 listings we track. This listing has been in the store since 2026-04-04 and was last updated on 2026-04-05.
