Chrome blocks the loading of a browser extension and requires the resources to be included in the "webaccessibleresources" manifest key to prevent extensions from accessing sensitive or private information without the user's knowledge or consent. The webaccessibleresources manifest key specifies which resources, such as images or JavaScript files, the extension can access and modify on web pages. This helps to ensure that only trusted extensions have access to sensitive information, and helps to prevent security vulnerabilities and data breaches.
