They are listed in the manifest and specified as required permissions or optional permissions. Permissions are known strings that refer to a Chrome API or match patterns that grant access to one or more hosts. Protect extensions and their users by implementing explicit, minimal and optional permissions. Limiting permissions establishes an extension's capabilities and reduces possible incursion to data if the extension is compromised by an attacker. Paste text only can be accessed via the ribbon and context menu (when you're using any version of Edge, or Chrome with the Office - Enable Copy and Paste Extension), via CTRL+Shift+V (Chrome, Firefox, and Chromium-based Edge), or by clicking the paste floatie after standard paste and selecting the 'paste text only' option. Permissions should be restricted to only what is needed for its functionality.
Now that Manifest V3 has launched, we strongly recommend that you use it for any new extensions that you create.Īn extension's ability to access websites and most Chrome APIs is determined by its declared permissions. document.execCommand('paste') - which reads the user’s clipboard and puts it into the focused input element on the page - won’t work at all in Chrome unless it’s run from an extension.
The page you're viewing describes extensions using Manifest V2. If not, you’ll need to resort to a browser extension.
