See https://github.com/karlicoss/promnesia/blob/master/doc/PRIVACY.org#extension-permissions

Few permissions could be opt-in instead of default, that would (in theory) make the extension more secure and speed up chrome web store approval.

In https://github.com/karlicoss/grasp there are some examples of dynamic permissions.
