Please reduce access rights to my browsing behavior #149

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Hello,

I would like to use your useful extension. But I'd like to ask if you could 
reduce the access rights of it?

Maybee Google Chrome does explain it a bit missunderstanding, when I click on 
the install button. But I don't understand why the extension needs the right to 
 gain access about my whole browsing behaviour?

See Screenshot...

Translation to English:

- Access your data on all websites
- Access your Tabs and browsing behaviour / history

Thanks

Joe

This is especially important for computer work stations in companys. I cannot 
allow an extension to gain access to company data...

This extension is just designed to search simply for text on my website, isn't 
it? So I don't understand the need of so extensive access rights.

I've removed permission "tab" (apparently is not needed", "storage" stays to be 
able to save options. 0.4.2
