What Chrome asks you to allow

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

• Read your browsing history
• View and manage your tab groups
• Display notifications
• Read the icons of the websites you visit
• Modify data you copy and paste
• Read and change your bookmarks

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
