fix: remove accessibility prompt 🐛 #178

Closed kentbetita closed 6 months ago

Why

There has been issues with macOS users regarding accessibility permission. The accessibility permission is needed in order to get the complete window title. Apparently, the screenRecordingPermission already handles this concern so there is no need for the accessibility permission. To fix this we just completely remove the code for the accessibility prompt check.

Actually, looking more into this (which you should have done too), the accessibility permission is required to get the URL of the active tab in browsers. The comment was just incorrect.
