Comment (by arlolra):

 Seems to be the "background" permission,
 https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declare_permissions#background

 We could maybe declare it as an optional permission and then conditionally
 request it at runtime with the permissions api,
 https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/permissions
