by alewell, 5 years agoThis extension works well, but I really wish there were simple explanations for why each permission is required. Some are obvious (access tabs, modify bookmarks), but why others are needed is not obvious to me. At some point access to Download files/history was required. Why? I would like to know, thank you.
EDIT: Thank you for the prompt response!

Read and modify bookmarks and Access browser tabs: These are key permissions because all the functionality boils down to bookmarking tabs.
Store unlimited amount of client-side data: Local browser storage is used to save the TimeLine: periodic snapshots of sessions, daily snapshots of sessions and session snapshots when the browser is closed.
Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history: This permission is used to save session backups to a file. This permission is given in this form. If only File Download could be used, then I would use it.
Access recently closed tabs: I have used this permission and am using it for experiments with the built-in session saving system, so far to no avail. I agree, in the release version - this permission is superfluous, I will remove it.
