Reader View version 0.7.0 requested Block content on any page permission. What's this for? Would you mind clarifying the purpose and usage, please?

Environment: Reader View: 0.7.0 Brave Browser: 1.48.164 Chromium: 110.0.5481.100 (Official Build) (arm64) macOS: 12.6.3 (21G419)

This message refers to the "declarativeNetRequest" permission authorization, which we require to substitute the "origin" and "referer" headers for remote TTS (Text-to-Speech) engines. Ideally, we intended to categorize this permission as optional since it's only necessary if the user intends to use remote voices. Nonetheless, it turned out that it's not possible to list this permission as optional!

I'm replacing the "declarativeNetRequest" permission with "declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess." As a result, the warning message is no longer present!
