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. It may later ask for access to every site.

Sites that can connect to it

Web pages matching these patterns can open a messaging channel to it: 2 site patterns.

Declared as externally connectable in the manifest: a page on these sites can exchange messages with the extension, for example to tell it you have signed in. It does not give the page access to your browser.

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 (22, was 21) (changed: site access, pages it runs its code on)

Versions we have seen

  1. Version 1.1.0
  2. Version 1.0.9 · Asked for more permissions (22, was 21) (changed: site access, pages it runs its code on)

Who publishes it

Think Forge. This listing has been in the store since 2025-12-28 and was last updated on 2026-10-18.
