chrome://extensions: "Allow on all websites" is confusing |
||||
Issue description
When an extension only requests permission to run on specific sites, the chrome://extensions UI in M73 says:
Allow on all websites
<site1>
<site2>
Each line has a toggle.
It's not obvious that the main toggle ("Allow on all websites") means allow on the sites below. Assuming that is the meaning of this toggle, the string should be updated to clarify this for users.
Much less important: It might be nice to provide more guidance on how to enable specific sites or even change the UI so that it is more natural to find.
Note: The M73 UI is much improved over M70-71, which show:
"Allow this extension to read and change all your data on websites you visit: On all sites"
and provide no indication of the sites to which the extension is restricted.

Agreed - we're looking at rephrasing this.

This includes a new heading/ summary describing the section, and rephrasing from "Allow on all sites" to "Automatically allow access on the following sites" to make it clear that it can't run everywhere.
