Action Summary
The “Chrome Extension Permission Check” GitHub Action automates the detection of permission escalations in Chrome extension updates by comparing two manifest.json files. It identifies new permissions or host entries that could trigger Chrome’s user re-approval dialogs, preventing extensions from being automatically disabled after updates. This action helps developers proactively catch potential permission-related issues in CI workflows, reducing user churn and ensuring smoother extension updates.
