Fortunately, you can override Apple's choice:

If I were in charge of fixing this bug for Chromium, I might start by prioritizing which permissions are the most nefarious, list them first, perhaps in red. Then ensure the entire dialog expands vertically to fit as much content as possible.
- nneonneo 4y agoI wondered about this. I would sincerely hope that the permissions list is already priority-sorted somehow; otherwise, it’d be trivial to just list five innocuous permissions first and then put the dangerous ones later. Even with scrollbars, most users would just see the first few and likely not bother to scroll down at all. Note that in the author’s post, one of the dangerous permissions (read and modify data for all websites) is already listed in the box.
- froggit 4y agoHave users view and approve each permission individually. First permission is listed, buttons for "deny" and "approve", user clicks "approve", next permission is listed, etc. Clicking stuff is a lot of work for users and some of those permissions sound pretty intimidating, so I suspect either extensions would start getting by using fewer permissions or users would start getting by using fewer extensions.
- sanitycheck 4y agoEither of those outcomes would be a win for security and privacy. Users _should_ understand what an extension having access to this stuff implies, and if that means they only use "official" extensions or stop using them that's fine. Also "clicking stuff is a lot of work for users" made me laugh a little. How many damn cookie consent buttons do users have to click every day? An extension should be orders of magnitude more "work" to allow than that.
