Are browser extensions getting way too aggressive with permissions lately?

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like every random extension I look at now wants permission to “read and change all your data on all websites.”
Like… why 😭
I get that some extensions probably need it, especially if they’re doing something directly on webpages. But a basic dark mode extension or screenshot tool asking for access to literally everything feels kinda crazy.
I usually end up not installing them because I don’t really want some random third-party extension having access to my banking, email, etc. I’d rather just do whatever I was trying to do manually than give an extension that much access.
Do you guys actually check the permissions before installing extensions? And how do you tell if a smaller/unknown extension is actually trustworthy?
Or do most people just click allow and hope for the best lol..
