What Chrome asks you to allow

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

• Read and change your data on a number of websites

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: 1 match pattern.

• https://bye-bye-gemini-payments.jfengabc123.workers.dev/* only bye-bye-gemini-payments.jfengabc123.workers.dev

Routine for an extension

• Store data in your browser storage

Pages it runs its code on

It runs its own code on specific pages only: the first 50 site patterns we keep.

• https://*.google.com/* google.com and all its subdomains
• https://*.youtube.com/* youtube.com and all its subdomains
• https://www.google.com/ only www.google.com

We keep the first 50 patterns of a list; the manifest may declare more.

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.
