He asks specifically if he has broken some rules in Google Chrome's terms of service, where another user replies with quotations from the ToS. He barks at that saying his extension is allowed to do what he does, because his extension does reveal exactly what it does, if you read its permissions carefully.
Although, I cannot confirm whether that is true, but that's what he is saying.
I have no idea what he is up to; but aren't extensions supposed to be reviewed if they in the extension catalogue?
He does indicate the user gives the OK to 'access all data on all websites' - like most extensions do, come to think of it. I do think things like that should be more fine-grained, and/or that developers have to indicate /why/ they need that access.
Yeah, seems like they should maybe institute some type of manual review for any type of "global" permissions. It would impede the well-behaving apps that legitimately need global permissions, but it might be worth it.
