What it actually reaches
Exposes the URL, title and favicon of every tab you have open, and of every tab you open afterwards. It does not grant access to page content, but the list of addresses you are visiting is itself a detailed record of your browsing.
Why an extension would ask for it
Tab managers, session savers and window organisers genuinely need it. Note that many extensions can achieve what they need with activeTab instead, which sees one tab on demand rather than all of them continuously.
How to judge it
A permission on its own says little. What matters is whether it fits what the extension is for: a note-taking tool that reads every page you visit is worth a second look, while an ad blocker that does the same is doing its job. Read the permission next to the extension's stated purpose, and check the host list beside it.
