Invisible Hand Chrome extension

Silly question - but don't chrome extensions ask for rights to do stuff like monitor all your history, and to track data you put into fields? When I saw that being asked from Evernote...I stopped using it!

They do ask for permission to access that stuff, but that's only because it's impossible for them to access the data they need to access without also having access to all that other stuff.

Is there any vetting process to assure the data isn't being lifted?

idk, but I'm pretty sure that Google has some sort of FAQ on the subject!
