Right. Extensions have more privileges than normal web pages.
For the specific case here (webextensions), the extension asks for a list of permissions at install time, so which privileges it has, exactly, depends on the extension. https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declare_permissions https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declare_permissions has documentation on what the various permissions you can request are.
