What Chrome asks you to allow
When you add it, Chrome asks you to allow it to:
- Read and change your data on feeds.bbci.co.uk and www.theguardian.com
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
Specific sites only: 2 match patterns.
https://feeds.bbci.co.uk/*only feeds.bbci.co.ukhttps://www.theguardian.com/*only www.theguardian.com
Routine for an extension
What it may ask for later
Not granted when you add it: Chrome asks you the moment the extension requests one of these, and you can refuse. It may later ask for access to every site.

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.
