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.
