Hi, Simeon from the Chrome Extensions team here. Clipboard access is one of the browser capabilities that currently requires a document to use. We're planning to address this use case (and others that require DOM) by introducing a new capability called offscreen documents[1]. In short, an offscreen document is a temporary headless page that is instantiated for a given reason that requires DOM access. It is not meant as a long-lived background context.
