Yeah, Google doesn't really get it how to set permissions properly. They do this on Android, too, and freak people out when they see permissions that at least seem so general - like giving a SMS app "full Internet access" or "full SD card access" and so on.
The problem with naming them like that is that showing the permissions becomes pointless, because people will install them anyway seeing how 95% of the apps have that permission, so they might miss the malicious one that has that, too.

In order to block Facebook, this extension is injecting javascript into every page you load. It absolutely should come with a large warning.
