So, installing an extension which requires "Read and change data on all websites you visit" to save a few bucks isn't going to happen.

If instead it said "Read and change data on Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Travelocity" then I would be OK with it. But unfortunately they want full access!
Thank you for pointing this out. We'll look at this and see if we can enumerate the OTAs on which Scout works as you suggest.

I can assure you that the extension collects only what it needs to do in order to function.

It is possible to enlist websites you want access to: https://developer.chrome.com/apps/permission_warnings#warnin...

I don't know if/how is it compatible with Firefox and other browsers…

Hmmmm
