hello friends

Most of the extensions that are very important to me need this permission

First, I had a question:

activating this permission means that the extension has the ability to see the passwords that we type in the login page or the passwords written in the security page of different sites?

If it doesn't have the ability to see passwords (password, backup code, 2-Step Verification, etc.), then it doesn't matter to me, let it see all my data in different sites.

If it has the ability to see them, is there a safe open source extension that automatically turns off all extensions in the security pages and then turns them on again?

Constantly using the "Automatically allow access on the following sites" option is boring

When dealing with Google, the only extensions I would trust are those made by the Chinese government. :hysterical:

 

But seriously, if you want the extension, you need to put your trust in the developer.  Perhaps you should use a different browser that care's about privacy.  The other option is to write your own extensions.
