What Chrome asks you to allow
When you add it, Chrome asks you to allow it to:
- Read and change your data on a number of websites
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.

Pages it runs its code on
It runs its own code on specific pages only: 2 site patterns.
https://x.com/*only x.comhttps://twitter.com/*only twitter.com
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.
https://*/*every site
Sites that can connect to it
Web pages matching these patterns can open a messaging channel to it: 1 site pattern.
https://xblocker.gastrackerapp.com/*only xblocker.gastrackerapp.com
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 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
Andy Zhang. This listing has been in the store since 2026-10-07 and was last updated on 2026-10-07.
Similar extensions that ask for less
Listings close to this one in what they say they do, which declare less reach. Less reach is not a verdict on either: compare what each needs for the job.
