Pages it runs its code on

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

• https://www.amazon.co.jp/*gp/product* only www.amazon.co.jp
• https://www.amazon.co.jp/*/ASIN/* only www.amazon.co.jp

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.
