I ran into this complaint as feedback from a user for a Chrome extension I'm developing that did something similar (inspected links for a certain kind of content, then modified the page in question).
I could add a whitelist, but since it's implemented in my own extension, it doesn't solve the trust problem. The fact that you can examine the source of extensions doesn't help much.
I'd love for there to be a built-into-chrome per-extension whitelist and blacklist, so that users could specify exactly which pages they give my extension permission to run on. That way they could easily use my extension on only the domains they want, and ensure that I'm not reading their webmail or scraping their bank account website or anything malicious.
