当Chrome于 2008 年(Chrome)9 月(September)首次发布
时，阻止许多Firefox忠实拥护者转换的一件事是Firefox提供的大量附加组件。
到 2010 年，Chrome 网上应用店(Chrome Web Store)的扩展程序已经超过 10,000 个(surpassed 10,000 extensions)。今天可用的扩展总数不再公开显示，但假设它已达到数十万。
随着 Chrome 扩展库的增长，安装和启用可能导致问题的扩展的风险也在增加。尽管Chrome 网上应用店(Chrome Web Store)有一些政策可以帮助阻止恶意扩展程序，但有些确实可以通过。
同样，有一些扩展只是侵犯了用户的隐私，远远超出了必要的范围。很多(Often)时候，我们咬紧牙关，把好与坏一起接受——没有一些扩展是很难生存的。但是，您知道您可以对Chrome
扩展程序的权限进行一些管理吗？
与其讨论如何卸载 Chrome 扩展程序(how to uninstall Chrome extensions)，不如谈谈如何驯服它们！
如何更改
Chrome扩展的权限
您可以通过两种不同的方式更改Chrome扩展程序的权限，并且都可以处理修改扩展程序的站点访问权限(site access)。
第一种方法是与扩展栏中的扩展图标进行交互，第二种方法是直接更改扩展设置中的站点域列表。让我们回顾一下。
通过扩展图标(Extension Icons)更改 Chrome 扩展的权限
您的Chrome扩展程序栏是地址栏(address bar)右侧的浏览器区域，您可以在其中看到已安装的扩展程序的几个图标。
如果您右键单击(right-click)
其中一个扩展程序的图标并将鼠标悬停在“(hover “)这可以读取和更改站点数据(This can read and change site data)”，您将看到三个允许您快速更改扩展程序权限的选项：
第一个选项有效地将扩展默认设置为在单击图标之前没有读取和更改访问权限。其他两个是不言自明的。
当您有一个特别“响亮”的扩展时，这很有用。如果您的某个扩展程序经常使用网络数据或向您发送通知，则通过其中一个选项对其进行限制是一种无需完全删除即可控制它的好方法。
通过扩展设置(Extension Settings)更改 Chrome 扩展的权限
如果您喜欢限制扩展程序可以读取和更改数据的站点的功能，但又不想单独访问每个站点，则可以通过扩展程序的设置手动输入它们。
为此，请单击扩展栏右侧的汉堡菜单图标(click
on the hamburger menu icon)，然后转到“更多工具(More tools)”和扩展(Extensions)。
这将显示您已安装的所有扩展的完整页面。对于要更改权限的扩展程序，单击其
下方的详细信息按钮。(Details)
在随后的页面上，您将看到与通过扩展栏图标相同的三个选项。但是，如果您在此处选择“在特定网站上(On specific sites)”，假设它不是最初选择的选项，您将能够通过单个URL(URLs)添加网站。
如果您正在修改的扩展程序已经将此作为选定选项，或者在您添加了至少一个站点之后，您将看到允许站点的完整列表。从那里，您可以添加或删除更多它们。
您不必让Chrome扩展程序接管您的浏览器。虽然遗憾的是Chrome扩展程序默认要求对读取和更改站点数据进行如此多的控制，但您至少可以更改在这两种方式中存在明显问题的权限。
Change the Permissions of Chrome Extensions
When Chrome firѕt released all the way back in
September of 2008, the one thing that kept many Firefox lоyalіsts frоm
switching over was the robust amount of add-ons that Firefox offered.
By 2010, the Chrome Web Store had already surpassed 10,000 extensions. The total number of extensions available today isn’t shown publicly anymore, but it’s assumed to be well into the hundreds of thousands.
As Chrome’s library of extensions grows, so
does the risk of installing and enabling extensions that may cause problems.
Although the Chrome Web Store has policies that help keep malicious extensions
out, some do pass through.
Similarly, there are some extensions that just
encroach on users’ privacy far more than necessary. Often times, we bite the
bullet and take the good with the bad—some extensions are hard to live without.
However, did you know that you can do some management of your Chrome
extensions’ permissions?
Instead of getting into how to uninstall Chrome extensions, let’s talk about how you can tame them!
How to Change the Permissions of
Chrome Extensions
There are two different ways that you can
change the permissions of your Chrome extensions, and both deal with modifying
extensions’ site access.
The first way is by interacting with the
extension’s icon in the extensions bar, and the second is by directly changing
the list of site domains in the extension’s settings. Let’s go over each.
Change the Permissions of Chrome
Extensions by Extension Icons
Your Chrome extensions bar is the area of the
browser to the right of the address bar, where you see several icons for the
extensions that you’ve installed.
If you right-click
on one of your extensions’ icons and hover “This can read and change site data”, you’ll see three options that
will allow you to quickly change the extension’s permissions:
- When you click the extension
- On the site you’re currently on
- On all sites
The first option effectively defaults the
extension to not having read and change access until you click the icon. The
other two are self-explanatory.
This is useful when you have one extension
that’s particularly “loud.” If one of your extensions is constantly using
network data or sending you notifications, limiting it through one of these
options is a great way to get it under control without having to remove it
completely.
Change the Permissions of Chrome
Extensions by Extension Settings
If you like the functionality of limiting the
sites at which an extension can read and change data but don’t want to
individually visit every single site, you can input them manually through the
extension’s settings.
To do so, click
on the hamburger menu icon to the right of your extensions bar, then go to
“More tools” and Extensions.
This will bring up a full page of all of the
extensions you’ve installed. For the extension which you want to change the
permissions of, click on the Details
button beneath it.
On the page that follows, you’ll see the same
three options as you would through the extensions bar icons. However, if you
select “On specific sites” here,
assuming it wasn’t the originally selected option, you’ll be able to add
websites by individual URLs.
If the extension you’re modifying already had
this as the selected option, or after you’ve added at least one site, you’ll
see a full list of the permitted sites. From there, you can add or remove more
of them.
You don’t have to let your Chrome extensions
take over your browser. While it’s unfortunate that Chrome extensions demand so
much control over reading and changing site data by default, you can at least
change the permissions for ones that are noticeably problematic in these two
ways.
