Because giving a third party extension access to the content of every website I visit is worse than having ads. There's no special permission required for a chrome extension to make a network request and exfiltrate data, you're just trusting the developer. Also reader mode mostly solves the issue.

- fragmede 2y agoManifoV3 brings the host_permissions field, and domains the extension wants to connect to be to be listed there. You still have to trust the developer, unless you download the extension and modify the manifest to remove the domains listed there, though may result in the extension not working.
