As I'm testing the nudges extension, I'm referencing the doc and the section about running an unsigned extension normally (not temporarily) isn't quite right. It's right when it comes to loading the extension, but it's wrong in that the extension is not able to access privileged APIs. There doesn't seem to be a way to let unsigned non-temporary extensions access privileged APIs without modifying the isPrivileged getter.
I also spent like five minutes wondering why the extension's logs weren't showing. The section talks about it but only at the very bottom, and it's easy to overlook. I think it still belongs after the main discussion, but I made it an important note so it stands out.
