Chrome forcing the user to re-approve the extension when it tries to access more data is a feature, not something to work around. That alone is reason enough for me to say "thanks, but no thanks"

I agree with you. As a privacy-conscious user of Chrome extensions, I'm glad Chrome does things this way. There are too many horror stories out there.

I'll continue to look into ways I can deal with this without blindly asking for everything. I haven't found a good solution yet, but that doesn't mean there isn't a better way to do it out there.
