I don’t see why it wouldn’t be possible to make a more granular extension permission system that also has stricter sandboxing. Safari is already going in that direction. The new extension system is more restricted, although I don’t know if there is any granularity to it.
- moritonal 6y agoSo WebExtensions support this, even dynamic permissions (like on Android). But I've found I've had to push developers to use it because it makes their life a bit harder and it's already a side-project.
- kevingadd 6y agoThe UX for the dynamic permissions and fine-grained permissions is, to be generous, not good. I never saw any expressed desire or commitment from the Chrome team to improve on this which is likely why so many extensions still just request blanket access instead.
