The sad thing is, probably half the extensions I have installed have these permissions, and I see them during install and I just sigh and click OK, knowing full well the implications, but still needing that juicy extension functionality regardless.

I recall wanting to install a password manager extension at my previous job, for the tool that the company uses, and even knowing that many others use it and the company doesn’t block it, I still wasn’t comfortable with the permissions it wanted.
it is sad that the browsers ask you want to run extensions in incognito mode but don't allow to run only there
