So I wrote a Google Chrome extension. All I want to do is provide the ability to open a new tab of a particular url. In order to do so I included the “tab” permission in the “manifest.json” file. Everything works.
Now, when I publish my extension, it says my extension can access “your browsing history”. I don’t need/want to do anything with the opened tabs. I don’t like the fact that is is sort of implying that my extension can do something that I in no way need. Is there any way to allow me to open a new tab at a particular url from my extension without giving me “your browsing history” rights?
chrome.tabs.create()doesn’t require tab permission.
