Asking permission for <all_urls>: * "Access your data for all websites" Asking permission for a small number of domains: * "Access your data for sites in the youtube.com domain" * "Access your data for sites in the soundcloud.com domain" * "Access your data for sites in the vimeo.com domain" * "Access your data in 8 other domains" The limited permission request is a bigger list, making it look like it is asking for more permissions than the <all_urls> request which is counter-intuitive. It is also hard to parse and quickly determine how many domains in total are being requested. Possible alternative: * "Access your data for ALL websites" * "Access your data for 11 domains including youtube.com, soundcloud.com and vimeo.com"

Scott, what do you think

Not sure if this is coincidence or not, but I just got out of a conversation with UX about permissions copy. It tested scary in recent user tests. We may explore softening it places or clarifying in others. So let's leave as-is for now, since broader changes may come. Thanks.
