Fair enough. I asked because an extension like this has access to too much information which I don't like from a privacy stand point.

Thanks for sharing though!

I understand your concern. I think "access to much information" means this extension require <all_url> host_permission, which I don't want to either but it must.

Because custom AI provider's API base url is submit by user. If I want to call the API on background script, this base url must be listed on host_permissions. Otherwise it will cause a CORS problem.

optional_host_permissions may fix this problem, but since the base url is set by user, it's not possible to use this workaround.

Any suggestion?

you could give paying customers access to the code to run themselves (not open source)

if that works for you/your privacy-aware customer they can inspect the code/build it/ run their own version
