Site access – Configure the ability of extensions to read and change and data on sites you visit.
Dragon lets you configure the circumstances under which an extension can access site data:
Extensions that need to interact with a page to do their job will invariably require this permission. For example, a password manager extension needs to know which page you are on so it can provide the correct password. A video download extension needs to know what videos are on a page in order to download them.
- On click - Grant access to site data as and when needed. The extension is turned off until you click on it. When you click on it, the extension can access the site which is open in the current tab. The extension is turned off again if you close the tab.
- On specific sites - Create a list of sites which the extension is allowed to access. You can add as many sites as you wish. The extension cannot read data on any other sites than ones you add here.
- On all sites - The extension is allowed to access data on any site you visit (default).
