Transparency: Why so many permissions?
Human explanation of each feature.
Debugger & Scripting
Sounds scary, but it is needed for one goal: Web to PDF. When you click Save, the extension captures the article exactly as you see it to create a clean PDF. The debugger runs only to generate high quality PDFs.
Access to all hosts
To let you download a PDF or save a bookmark from any site like YouTube, Medium, or localhost, the extension needs permission to read that site. Without this, it cannot save content.
Tabs & TabGroups
The Tab Manager feature lets you save open tabs as groups locally on your device and clear the browser. This helps free up RAM and keeps your session context.
Identity
Used for authorization and cloud sync. This is required for secure login via Google OAuth.
Downloads
Needed so you can save generated PDFs to your disk and export all bookmarks to HTML or JSON if you decide to stop using the extension.
