Changing Chrome extension site access has no effect

Chrome extensions have a "Details" page (for example, here's Adblock's). On this page you can change the permissions of the extension to be one of: On click, On specific sites, or On all sites. These options determine whether the extension runs all the time on every site or only when you want them to.

This extension, however, does not change behavior when I modify the permissions from its Details page. Why is this the case? Here's their source code on Github.

I noticed that they use a persistent background page. Would that cause the issue?

Thanks in advance.

The correct answer as stated in the comments:

[the extension] doesn't actually run on sites other than Reddit. It just takes an URL of a tab and runs it through Reddit.

This means that changing the permissions in the Details page doesn't affect anything.
