# Yomichan Permissions
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `<all_urls>` <br>
|
||
|
|
Yomichan requires access to all URLs in order to run scripts to scan text and show the definitions popup,
|
||
|
|
request audio for playback and download, and connect with Anki.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `storage` and `unlimitedStorage` <br>
|
||
|
|
Yomichan uses storage permissions in order to save extension settings and dictionary data.
|
||
|
|
`unlimitedStorage` is used to help prevent web browsers from unexpectedly
|
||
|
|
deleting dictionary data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `webRequest` and `webRequestBlocking` <br>
|
||
|
|
Yomichan uses these permissions to ensure certain requests have valid and secure headers.
|
||
|
|
This sometimes involves removing or changing the `Origin` request header,
|
||
|
|
as this can be used to fingerprint browser configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `nativeMessaging` <br>
|
||
|
|
Yomichan has the ability to communicate with an optional native messaging component in order to support
|
||
|
|
parsing large blocks of Japanese text using
|
||
|
|
[MeCab](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeCab).
|
||
|
|
The installation of this component is optional and is not included by default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `clipboardWrite` <br>
|
||
|
|
Yomichan supports simulating the `Ctrl+C` (copy to clipboard) keyboard shortcut
|
||
|
|
when a definitions popup is open and focused.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `clipboardRead` (optional) <br>
|
||
|
|
Yomichan supports automatically opening a search window when Japanese text is copied to the clipboard
|
||
|
|
while the browser is running, depending on how certain settings are configured.
|
||
|
|
This allows Yomichan to support scanning text from external applications, provided there is a way
|
||
|
|
to copy text from those applications to the clipboard.
