Simple-tab-groups: Query: Why the need for extra permissions?

[tur-ium]

Hi there, an issue but not a bug. Firefox now prompts me to give permission for Simple Tab Groups to "Access your data for all websites". I love this addon, but as an interested user I feel I should ask: a) What data does it require and b) why is it necessary now but not previously?

Hi!

This permission need for tab thumbnail in manage groups:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/tabs/captureVisibleTab

Creates a data URI encoding an image of the visible area of the currently active tab in the specified window. You must have the permission to use this method.

I see, thank you!
