Update requests unnecessary permissions to read and write bookmarks

[foerster-rwth]

Last week I opened up the issue that the libredirect update recently has wanted permissions that it neither needs nor is going to get from conscientious users (see #685).

Which means that I have to decline the installation of the update every day anew. This is a questionable behaviour of the update, and it is tiring as well.

The issue #685 was answered by "ManeraKai" -- in an unsatisfactory fashion -- and then marked as "completed".

It is not completed. The issue persists, and I would like to know what the matter is with this.

I am certainly not the only user who does not want to give permissions to read and write bookmarks to a plug-in that claims to improve privacy.

A clarification will be appreciated.

ok I'm able to make "bookmarks" optional, but I'm not able to make "contextMenus" to be so.

For "contextMenus" to be optional, I should be using .overrideContext instead of .create, which will override the whole context menu (which will make someone assassinate me).

Will permission to read bookmarks be optional in the next release?

[ManeraKai]

Yes

Great, thanks!
