The extension framework already requires the developer to get permission for which URL's the extension is sending http requests to, in the manifest.

All I want is, to see that list of who is being sent data, before I install anything.

Especially in those extensions where no one would assume data is being sent at all - like in this example -

When I look at the "details" in Chrome it says no special permissions requested. When I look at the code its busy talking to Google Analytics and Firebase.
