yes it’s that bad. i’ve written some webexts and if you ask for all data it really is all data... otherwise how would it work if you needed to change something on a page? i keep my list to my own bespoke one-off extensions or only the major big names or i audit the code manually.


Yep, I always think the 'all data' means there is no official api to do it, so I screw it and make my own from ground up.

Unfortunately browsers only make specific api for task that many people does. So there is always a portion of extensions need the 'all data' because there is no way otherwise.
