Question on the Extensions setting page (menu: Opera/Extensions). Several extensions have this option:

    Allow access to file URLs

What files would be accessed & how does functionality change if this option is selected?

(I tried to search for this topic, but couldn't get a combination of key words leading to answer)

I guess it would depend on the extension.

With the PDF.JS extension, that means you permits the extension to open an pdf file that is stored in your computer

Thanks for_d! Your comment plus the included link defining 'Content scripts' makes it very clear.
