What Chrome asks you to allow

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.

• *://*.alibaba.com/* alibaba.com and all its subdomains

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.

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.
