Why Chrome requests these permissions
Debugger
Chrome exposes its local print-to-PDF command through the debugger API. A temporary debugging notification can appear during export and disappear afterward.
Downloads
The extension needs download access to save the PDF and any supported conversation assets into the folder you configured.
Storage
Chrome local storage keeps preferences, daily usage, export progress, recent export results, and duplicate-export records.
Access to claude.ai
The extension reads conversation data from the signed-in Claude session already open in the browser.
Recommended Chrome download setting
For multi-file exports, open Chrome download settings and turn off Ask where to save each file before downloading. Otherwise Chrome can interrupt a batch run with a save dialog for every file.
Next step
Use One-Click & Open-Tabs Export for a first archive, or open Custom Preview when you want to trim the conversation.
