Not "change all my data on all websites" but "read the content of all websites I visit".

Because an extension that finds all button elements on all websites you visit, must necessarily start by reading the content of all websites you visit.

Yes, I think that one's acceptable in this case. It's the "change all my data" that is problematic.
