 ==== Zotero Connector ====
-When installing the Zotero Connector, your browser will warn you that the extension can “Read and change all your data on the websites you visit” (or similar). This is the standard permission that browser extensions that run on all pages require. Zotero uses it to determine what content it can save on a given page and update the save button accordingly, as well as to provide advanced features such as automatic proxy redirection and automatic RIS/BibTeX import. No data is stored except when you choose to save a page to either your local or online Zotero library.
+When installing the Zotero Connector, your browser will warn you that the extension can **“Read your browsing history”**, **“Access your data for all websites”**, or similar. These different wordings all mean the same thing: that Zotero can interact with each page as you browse the web. This is the standard permission that browser extensions that run on all pages require. Zotero uses it to determine what content it can save on a given page and update the save button accordingly, as well as to provide advanced features such as automatic proxy redirection. Zotero in no way reads your previous browsing history, and no data about your browsing activity is stored except when you choose to save a page to either your local or online Zotero library.
+The Zotero Connector also requires permission to **"Block content on any page"**, which is the technical mechanism it uses to enable saving of CSL files to the Zotero app and to show CAPTCHAs when saving PDFs on some websites. No content is being blocked.
