Though this only gets triggered when the user presses the `Update Instances` button. ## Permissions -* The extension requires access to request data for **all websites** in order -to intercept requests made to targeted services (Twitter, YouTube, Instagram ...) so that they may be redirected to the appropriate privacy -respecting alternative, all other requests are ignored. - -* The extension also requires **local storage** permissions in order to store -extension specific user preferences and settings. +* `webRequest`, `webRequestBlocking`: To block http requests or redirect them. e.g redirect to YouTube => Invidious before it can reach YouTube's servers. + * `storage`: To save LibRedirect's settings permanently. + * `cookies`: To apply settings on multiple instances.

The targets e.g `https://youtube.com`, `https://twitter.com` are written in [Regex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) and are much more complicated than to be hard-coded in the manifest. Ex: [search Regex](https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect/blob/master/src/assets/javascripts/helpers/search.js#L6=). Further more, we need to access the instances sites too to inject some localStorage variables. There's also an option to `Always Use Preferred instances` that is to even redirect of any other invidious instance to your selected instances. This has to be dynamic and you may even add a custom instance which can't at all be hard-coded. ## Future Changes If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page.
