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 the store shows
The store shows none of its badges on this listing. Most listings carry none.
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.
The permissions this extension requests have not changed since we started watching it.
Who publishes it
Birdabo. This listing has been in the store since 2026-08-11 and was last updated on 2026-08-21.
