Comment on Show HN: Browser extension to (fuzzy) search bookmarks, history and open tabs

Comments

Nice looking tool! though personally don't like installing extensions requiring these permissions. Kinda surprised Chrome's newish feature of tab list/search doesn't even do some ultra basic fuzzy search!

Thanks! What permission exactly does trouble you? I guess the tab permission is a bit unusual. However, with the Manifest V3, the extension couldn't make any outside calls anyway without explicit permission to do so (and this isn't the case).

The reason for the tab permission is not just to index them, but to also to merge bookmarks and history with open tabs. If you go to a bookmark, you've already opened it will just switch to the tab.
