Dialog with permissions language on Chrome extension update -
i know in case when extension updated , requires additional permissions compared installed version, dialog permission warnings shown.
my question is: dialog going shown if permissions removed compared previous extension version?
is dialog going shown if permissions cutted off comparing previous extension version?
if permissions decrease, no dialog shown.
interesting fact: chrome still consider permissions granted on installs had broad-permissions version before.
so if next version reintroduces same permission, users had restricted-permission version first installed version notified. makes easier (but still not trivial) recover accidental permission deletion.
from source code (thanks sungguk lim link):
// extensions can silently upgrade less permissions, , // silently upgrade version adds these permissions back. // extension release new version // removes "omnibox" permission. when user upgrades, chrome // still remember "omnibox" had been granted, if // extension once again includes "omnibox" in upgrade, extension // can upgrade without requiring user's approval.
