Document Requested Permissions #42

Closed rthaut closed 6 years ago

rthaut commented 6 years ago

All permissions requested by the extension should be clearly documented so that users can understand why they are used.

As of version 5.0.0, this is the full list of requested permissions (from manifest.shared.json:

Additionally, the version for Microsoft Edge (though it is not yet released) requests the *://*/*" permission (instead of activeTab, since Edge does not yet support it).

rthaut commented 6 years ago

The 2 remaining permission (activeTab and storage) currently do NOT prompt users for permission during installation (or during upgrades), so I am leaving them undocumented for now.

It may be beneficial to document them in the future, so I am leaving them listed here for reference.
