## Description

PERMISSIONS AND ACCESS**

<strong>Why does this need access to all websites?</strong>
Two of the "add a tile" features need to actually open the page you're linking to: one takes a quick screenshot in the background to make a thumbnail automatically, and the other lets you open the page and drag a box around the part you want as the icon. Since a tile can point to <em>any</em> site, it needs permission to visit any site.

<strong>Why bookmarks?</strong>
So you can browse and pick from your existing bookmarks when adding a tile, and optionally save a tile back as a bookmark.

<strong>Why clipboard access?</strong>
Just for the "Paste" button when picking a tile's thumbnail image, so you can paste a copied image instead of uploading a file.

<strong>Why recently closed tabs?</strong>
That's the row of icons at the top for tabs you just closed, in case you want to reopen one.

<strong>Why browser tabs?</strong>
Needed for the screenshot thumbnail feature. It has to check when the page finishes loading and then capture what's on screen.

<strong>Why browsing history (shown twice)?</strong>
- One is for the History panel and its search box.
- The other is used to suggest tiles based on your most-visited sites.

<strong>Does it collect or send any of my data anywhere?</strong>
<blockquote>No. Everything stays on your device. It's all used to make features work locally, nothing is sent out.</blockquote>
