## Permissions ## Permissions
* The extension requires access to request data for **all websites** in order * `webRequest`, `webRequestBlocking`: To block http requests or redirect them. e.g redirect to YouTube => Invidious before it can reach YouTube's servers.
to intercept requests made to targeted services (Twitter, YouTube, Instagram ...) so that they may be redirected to the appropriate privacy * `storage`: To save LibRedirect's settings permanently.
respecting alternative, all other requests are ignored. * `cookies`: To apply settings on multiple instances. Note that we use localStorage too. Those options are disabled by default though.
* `contextMenus`: For adding some buttons to the right click:\

extension specific user preferences and settings. * `<all_urls>`: LibRedirect is dynamic and customizable. 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.
