"Read and Change all your data on all websites"
I discovered something deeply worrying about Chrome on Android

Context: I went to clear browsing data and checked the advanced tab. It claims that a few site settings are stored. However, chrome://settings/content shows no recently changed permissions and none of the settings underneath contain any custom settings for any sites.
Is there a page listed on chrome://about/ that can help me find out what these supposed site settings refer to?
I've read a few posts about extensions asking for this permission and wanted to see if anyone had advice on accepting it. I have a "YouTube Playback Speed Control" extension that's asking for this and am wondering if 1) they need this permission to function and if they do need it 2) is it worth the potential risk just for control over playback speed?
I'm not entirely sure whether this is a huge deal or not. It seems many extensions ask for this permission. Plus, this specific extension has been very useful, being able to 3-4x speed on slow videos and such with simple "-" and "+" was convenient. I'd be happy to hear any input you guys have!
