Why do you need access to history ?

tsriram commented 8 years ago

I do not need access to history. When I ask for permission to access tabs, Chrome Web Store tells the users that the extension needs access to history.

Here's the list of permission the extension needs and their purpose:

  1. https://twitter.com - to inject the style sheet
  2. tabs - whenever a new tab is opened and a page is loaded, extension checks if it is twitter.com
  3. storage - to store whether the night mode is turned on or not
