The contentSettings permission
An extension holding contentSettings can
change what sites are allowed to do, such as running JavaScript or using your camera.
We weight it 10 out of 100 when scoring how much an extension can reach. That is a measure of capability, not of behaviour: plenty of extensions need this to do their job.
