To use the Chrome extension, Dash needs the following permissions:

Rest assured that other than displaying a small pop-up in the top-right corner, Dash won’t change data on your websites.
• Replace the page you see when opening a new tab: With the Dash Chrome browser extension installed, you can search your added content and apps from any new tab. If you want to navigate to a different site, you can always enter any search or website into the browser’s search bar.

Note: You can disable the default Dash tab by right-clicking ① (Dash) in your browser toolbar, then toggling Use Dash start page off.

• Read and change your browsing history on all your logged-in devices: This permission powers several Dash features to help you find what you’re looking for, including improving and tailoring your search results to your browsing behavior. For example, if you've opened a file before, Dash will rank that file higher on your search results page.

Note: Dash will never change your browser history.
