Why the heck does this need access to my browsing history? That seems like an invasion of privacy.

posted 7 years agoAll the permissions and also the reasons why they are needed are already explained on the add-on's page (under "About this extension" at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reloadmatic/). There is no invasion of privacy, I keep that in high regard. The source code is also publicly visible at GitHub, so there is nothing I can hide.
