Privacy and permissions

Why does Chrome show a permissions warning?

When you install Ask AYO, Chrome shows: “It can read and change all your data on all websites.” That sounds alarming. Here is exactly what it means.

What Chrome shows

“Read and change all your data on all websites”

Why Chrome shows this warning

Chrome shows this generic warning for any extension that reads page content, including simple grammar checkers and highlighters. We need permission to read the text you highlight so we can explain it. Without it, Ask AYO wouldn't work.

Grammarly, Honey and LastPass all show the same warning. It's Chrome's way of making sure you know what permissions you're granting.
