• downloads: Allows the extension to monitor and block download attempts based on your settings.
• declarativeNetRequest: Uses Chrome’s built-in API to block and redirect network requests related to downloads in real time.
• declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess: Required to block downloads from user-defined domains for effective download blocking.
• tabs: Allows the extension to update or close tabs when a blocked download is detected, and to open the statistics page.
• webNavigation: Detects attempts to initiate downloads via manual URL entry, bookmarks, or redirects.
• alarms: Enables automatic blocking or unblocking of downloads at scheduled times (e.g., during work hours).
• <all_urls>: Required to detect and block restricted downloads on any website specified by the user. Without this permission, the extension cannot perform its core function.
