The proposal said a registered content script could be scoped to the selected tab's origin. It cannot, in two ways that both matter. matches is evaluated against each frame's own URL, not the tab's, so a pattern for the top-level site would never reach the embedded player frame — the only frame the change exists to reach. Covering a player origin that is unknown before discovery requires <all_urls>. And registration has no tab scoping at all: with several tabs open on the same site, every one of them gets the script. The honest cost is therefore that a passive monitor runs in every frame of every http/https tab while a target is selected, which is a privacy-posture change for a project that advertises touching only the chosen tab. Recorded so the decision is made against the real trade rather than the flattering version. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
