"Read browsing history" permission

Open philipp2100 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Is this permission really necessary?

If so, I suggest to quickly explain why in the README, since it's a serious issue for users concerend with their privacy.

hello @philipp2100, I need to get the active tab url, and the only way to do this (as I know) requires the tabs permission (wich also gives access to history, but of course I don't use it). I'm working on the v2 and tried the activeTab permission, wich limits the scope, but you need to click on the extension icon to active it on every new tab, so it ruins the user experience.

If any suggestions, please let me know!

Thanks for your feedback
