Permissions User data is not maliciously accessed by this extension; I am a user of this extension too, and believe heavily in the protection of users' privacy and personal data. Below is an explanation of permissions in Study Mode: YouTube, with definitions copied from Mozilla's developer page. activeTab: If an extension has the activeTab permission, then when the user interacts with the extension, the extension is granted extra privileges for the active tab only. activeTab is used in order to apply user-input changes to the current tab of YouTube. localStorage is also used in this extension and is used to store the options you have selected in the extension for future access - both in current tabs, and in any future tabs/windows. The custom word filter list is also stored to localStorage. Access and retrieval of only these customization options are used.
