It should start with access permissions being limited to user-specified (even if prefilled) list of sites/domains. There are extensions clearly meant for a single page (e.g. improving the UX), or a class of pages. I never install them, because even if those pages are not critical, the permission request is always scoped to "all data, every site", which means that e.g. this nice plugin decluttering YouTube could also exfil data from my bank's webapp.

pretty sure chrome provides this? or at least whatever build of chromium I am on, at least for local-unbundled extensions
