[Important] About Permissions

When using certain features such as tab exporting, you will be promoted to grant optional permissions, so that Copy as Markdown may read data from your browser. You may revoke permissions anytime on the Options page, from Extensions > Copy as Markdown > Extension Options.

Copy as Markdown respects your privacy. It does NOT actively collect your browsing history, and will only access tabs when you use tab exporting features.

Daniel Grossfeld (ID: 000000adec4cdbd6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/21/2023 Incredibly useful to preserve links from multiple tabs for documentation.

Steph Solmundson (Yellow-Submarine) (ID: 000000c7bc3c1d04) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/30/2023 Doesn't work intuitively... I haven't gotten it to work on a the websites I use. It requests to see people's browsing history. Seems invasive, useless. I don't doubt it works for other people, but this isn't acceptable functionality for the privacy they breach.

Victor Movileanu (ID: 000000ccc3b63e1c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/26/2023 Why is reading browsing history data necessary? I am happy there is a tool like this and I don't have to build it myself, but I am skeptical when I see it requires this permission.
