So, what you're saying is by installing this plug-in to Chrome, which I haven't seen or vetted the source code for, I'm giving it access to my data on all websites and my browsing history?
Why would a paste-bin tool need access to my browsing history? Shouldn't this plug-in be enabled on a per-site basis, where I want to use it rather than give it global access to everything I browse?!
Why would anyone in their right mind click the Install button!? Or am I just that paranoid?

oh ya! great!
What I wonder is whether this plugin _actually_ does any of that, or whether the "developer" just clicked those flags in the metadata. Either way, it feels to me like sloppy coding - get it out there quick, we'll fix it later if there's sufficient demand. Or maybe I'm just that cynical.
I agree with shewfig that this is probably a case of the lazy developer. But I also thing that many (most?) of the people would click install anyway because they just want to see the "dancing pigs".
