What is the current bug behaviour?

I am asked if I wish to allow the extension access to my entire browser history.

What is the expected correct behaviour?

A VPN extension should not concern itself with my browser history.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Possible fixes suggested remediation

Remove the requirement for the browser history permission to be given, as there is no explanation for it in the changelog and, as per your recent reviews it seems that others have a problem with it as well.

This has been fixed in the latest release (2.1.1) where we removed the "tabs" permission that caused that error to the "activeTab" permission that allows the same functionality but without the warning. The only use of the "activeTab" permission within the extension is to pre-populate the current tab's url into the Bypass List Tile on the main extension view.

Apologies for any issues this might have caused.
