The pageCapture permission
An extension holding pageCapture can
save a complete copy of any page you have open, including what is behind a login.
We weight it 15 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.
