What Chrome asks you to allow

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

• Display notifications

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

No site access is declared in the manifest, so it cannot read the pages you open on its own.

Worth knowing

• Run its own code on the pages it can access scripting

Routine for an extension

• Run searches in your default search engine search

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.
