A bookmarking extension can use the activeTab permission, which gives them access only when the user clicks on the extension button and only to the current tab: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...

That's a great feature. Maybe not something people would want on a personal shopper extension though, which is another type of extension that might have done the sraping. It's more convenient to just have a price alert activate when I look at an item on Amazon than having to push a button every time.

Technically you can do that just with the webNavigation (allows you to see the URLs loaded) and the notifications (to alert the user).
