This is the developer's own declaration in the Chrome Web Store. We cannot check it against what the extension does.

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.

  1. Asked for more permissions (8, was 7) (changed: site access, pages it runs its code on, browser permissions, optional site access)

Versions we have seen

  1. Version 1.3.3
  2. Version 1.3.2
  3. Version 1.3.1 · Asked for more permissions (8, was 7) (changed: site access, pages it runs its code on, browser permissions, optional site access)
