What Chrome asks you to allow

When you add it, Chrome asks you to allow it to:

• Read and change all your data on all websites
• Manage your downloads

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.

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on every page you open: the manifest declares a content script for all sites.

• <all_urls> every site

A content script is code the extension injects into pages matching these patterns. On those pages it can read and change what you see, whether or not a host permission is listed above.

Web pages matching these patterns can open a messaging channel to it: 11 site patterns.

• *://*.sound-mod.com/* sound-mod.com and all its subdomains
• *://*.browser-sounds.com/* browser-sounds.com and all its subdomains
• *://*.browser-beep.com/* browser-beep.com and all its subdomains
