| webRequest | Permission | | This permission enables the extension to monitor and analyze all web requests made by the browser. Rated Critical because it can observe all network traffic including sensitive data, track browsing behavior, and gather authentication tokens. |
| declarativeNetRequest | Permission | | This permission allows the extension to define rules to block, redirect, or modify network requests. Rated Critical because it can control all network traffic, potentially blocking security updates or redirecting to malicious sites. |
| <all_urls> | Host | | Broad host access — the extension can read/modify content on every website. |
| Dangerous Permission Combination: scripting,<all_urls>,webRequest | Risk Factor | | Enables sophisticated data theft through script injection and traffic monitoring |
| Dangerous Permission Combination: scripting,<all_urls>,cookies | Risk Factor | | Enables sophisticated data theft through script injection and traffic monitoring |
