Why do you need to have a lot of permissions for the extension?

This extension would be able to read and alter web pages and see your browsing history on this website. This could include sensitive information, including passwords, phone numbers and credit cards.

You can change this later in the Websites section of Safari Settings.

Hi, I added a part to the GitHub repo explaining this, basically its this:

- The extension requires permission to "Access all websites" solely to detect video players and enable Picture-in-Picture functionality across different websites

- No data is collected, stored, or shared with third parties

- All functionality operates locally on your device
