New "history" permission?
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Could you explain why the new update for mPage requires a new permission?
It's a very important question, and thank you for asking it.
New permissions is needed because of this line.
In recent commit I added support for opening links in reader mode, but in that case the opened links would not be marked as visited in browser's history. So I needed to mark them manually, which requested 'history' permission.
I'm ready to remove this feature if there will be further privacy concerns.
I think explaining the permissions in the Firefox addon marketplace and the readme would be probably be something that we'd want to do as to make users comfortable with it.
Good idea... I added explanation for requested permissions to readme file and addon marketplace.
