Thanks for the info. I had no idea chrome had that, I don't think I recall installing an extension that DIDNT give me a warning about access. It seems like developers just stick to the more unrestricted system out of convenience or narcissism ("must phone home my youtube downloader, for science!"). There's definitely something out of whack here if developers won't use the restricted access when their extension fits nicely within that model. It would be nice if it could be shown that extensions are penalized in terms of downloads by requiring unnecessary access. As it is I've stopped using all extensions in chrome except adblock.
