Why does this extension (and similar ones I have used in the past) require permissions to "View and Change data on all websites you visit"? That's mildly concerning at least, and "No way I'm installing this" at best.

I do not save any data outside of local storage on chrome. In fact I am pro-privacy, so I opted out of using chrome.sync, to sync the data between Chromes on different devices. Because it's 3rd party cloud. > Since I made this extension open-source, you can check if my claims are true here: [link redacted] > (Sorry for messy code, 1st time real JS development for me, refactoring and documenting is on it's way.)
