Treat all permissions as optional #23

Closed libreom closed 7 months ago

libreom commented 11 months ago

Proposed solution: Make host permissions optional with a onboarding step during installation and updates(already in firefox), addressing the issue of extensions being disabled in Chrome and kiwi browser when new permissions are added. Alternative: Take permission for all urls like libredirect but that is undesirable.
