Hey, and I only have to give the extension access to all of my data on all websites, and the contents of every tab I open in Chrome!

I wish add-on mechanisms for browsers had finer-grained permissions.

It's open source so you don't have to trust his word: https://github.com/guille/chrome-spdy-indicator

Welp, it's an addon that has to interface with every tab in order to do its job, i.e. tell you if SPDY is in use. What exactly are you asking for?
