What the store shows

The listing says it offers in-app purchases.

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.

Versions we have seen

  1. Version 1.3.7
  2. Version 1.3.6
  3. Version 1.3.4
