Could you set these permissions to optional instead of required?

Anyone who wants to use these features can enable the corresponding permissions instead of accepting all permissions like this update.

[boidushya]

In an upcoming hotfix v1.7.2 I'll remove the clipboardRead and clipboardWrite permissions. I'll also try to move the downloads permission to be optional. I'm afraid the tabs one needs to be persistent though

[tasszz2k]

because these permissions are quite critical, I am afraid that people will be concerned about the security aspect when using it.

For instance, "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit ", why isn't it the YouTube music website only?

[tasszz2k]

sorry, but people concerned about security cannot ensure these permissions won't be used for other purposes in the future.

why don't you set them to optional? Users still have a choice to enable them to use these features.
