Alternatively, phrase the permission as what the app is technically trying to do, with a warning about what this could be used for.

"This extension wants be able to inject content in any tab. (Warning: This could potentially be used to track history of sites, and access all browsing data)."

That is actually accurate, while the current message is misleading.

Imagine this sort of scheme extended to "root" permission in ChromeOS. The stating worse case vs accurate with warning about worse case would be as follows:

> [Appname] wants permission to steel all your data and brick your device.

and

> [Appname] wants full control of this device. (Warning: this level of access could be used to steal your data, or brick your device).

The first one is most likely untrue, and borders on libel, while the second is true and accurate.
