Whisper from the Developer:

• single purpose: To display journal article related information not available at original PubMed
• in the browser address bar, type and search with keywords
• background justification: after extract PMID from webpages, other params must tweak before making URL call. I process this on the background page using _port to communicate between content.js and background.js
• contextMenus justification: I want the user to be able to do a PubMed search on any page with highlighted text
• tabs justification: open related webpages, and update options after visiting /settings
• clipboardWrite justification: I add a clipboard icon on webpages allowing the user to click and storage formated references. I format the copied text based the PMID exacted from the webpage and using information available at PubMed
• declarativeContent justification: to update contextMenus based on the webpage URL and text, to facilitate getting PubMed related data
• storage justification: I give options to the user on how the exact information should be displayed and I archive the papers the user read for later, both need a storage permission
• host permission: for downloading remote files within specific domains, such as json data
• downloads and remote code at /jss
• remote code justification: code from https://www.thepaperlink.com/jss to add clickable action to author names when search results were displayed on https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ (the /jss code was a product of #io2011 appengine contest, No. 6653800)
