Permissions of Chrome 'Hive Keychain' add-on

[t-nil]

Well, I just created my Hive/PeakD account, and I have to say, its not really a good thing that this key management add-on requires 'Permission to read and change all data on all websites you visit'.

You can limit the websites any add-on gets executed on in 'Manage extensions', but I still urge the developer to change that borlerline dangerous setting.

Hi,
I'll copy paste my answer on Github and upvote for better visibility:

To function, Hive Keychain needs to inject code into dApps so that these dApps can make requests back to Keychain.
That s what make it possible to login, vote, transfer etc. via Keychain.
Since new dApps are popping up all the time, we can't maintain a list of whitelisted dApps and are instead injecting this code in every page.
