Stylus uses only a small subset of each permission. As you can see in WebExtensions API documentation or simplified tutorials, there's no way to apply any modifications to a web page without gaining the full access permission to that page. Stylus is mostly used to apply global themes, which is why it requests a global permission. In the future we might be able to implement a more granular approach but it's not exactly trivial.
- Access your data for all websites - required for the style elements to be added into the page, not to access any of your data.
- Access browser tabs - required to show styles in the popup, and for some auxiliary features like regexp tester in the editor.
- Access browser activity during navigation - required to insert the styles at the exact moment the page is navigated to a different URL.
- Identity - required for access to cloud services to allow importing and exporting of styles (e.g. Dropbox, etc).
