<h4>Geolocation</h4>
<p>RES requests Geolocation permission purely for the functionality to set nightmode to turn on and off based on local times. The code for this can be found <a href="https://github.com/honestbleeps/Reddit-Enhancement-Suite/blob/96e249f10496d8369156ac676c89c5653e7a83bc/lib/modules/nightMode.js#L226-L236" title="Geolocation API Code" target="_blank">here.</a></p>

<h4>Various websites</h4>
<p>RES needs access to various websites (Chrome's message about "your data on..." is bogus) to do what it does. For example, hitting the imgur API to get data on an album so you can view it inline.</p>
