> Is there a different way to think about browser extensions that frames it in a more appetizing way?

I like the idea of selecting things and choosing from a set of actions which I've installed. These would be opt-in, and only have "read" access to whatever content I've highlighted, and have zero "write" access. This would be enforced as a security requirement by the host environment (browser). For example selecting a product image/title/upc and choosing "analyze food ingredients" or something. The precedent in Chrome would be selecting text and choosing "Search Google for <text>".

Opting in sounds like the better pattern here. I would also appreciate if I could opt-in giving the extension network access instead of extensions getting it by default.
