Toggl-button: What is the "Read your browsing history" needed for?

Created on 1 Jun 2016  路  1Comment  路  Source: toggl/toggl-button

The "Toggl needs new permissions" dialog says it needs to read my browsing history. Why do you need this? What is it used for?

With the latest release we've added the possibility to define custom domains. This allows users who run the tool on their private server to also use the benefits of Toggl Button. This change required adding of the tabs permission (https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs)

What this does is check if the current url in the tab is defined in Toggl Button and adds "Start timer" button if the answer is positive.

The only place this is used is in function tabUpdated that is visible in https://github.com/toggl/toggl-button/blob/master/src/scripts/background.js#L1309
