A browser extension permission prompt should be reviewed before connecting it to a Ledger workflow. The useful question is whether the permission scope, Ledger Wallet context, and device screen all support the same task.
Site access wording should be read before connection
Record the extension name, visible path, requested access scope, and claimed function. Broad site-access wording should be compared with the actual task the user intends to perform inside Ledger Wallet.
The Ledger Wallet download guide is the stable reference when an extension points toward app access or platform setup.
Ledger Wallet context should define the workflow
Open Ledger Wallet from a known path and read the app state. If the extension describes a setup, update, or connection task, the app should explain that task before the hardware screen asks for any action.
- Record permission wording and visible path.
- Compare the extension claim with Ledger Wallet state.
- Keep recovery phrase and PIN values outside extension forms.
Device-screen approval remains separate
Permission wording is not device approval. The Secure Element explainer gives background for why hardware-screen confirmation remains a separate step.
Finish with a permission-scope record
Close with extension name, access scope, Ledger Wallet state, device-screen wording, and final decision. That keeps the article focused on the permission question rather than the extension label.
