title: Chrome extension tabs permissions shows "Read your browsing history"
body: <p>I am creating an extension that can save all current tabs when a user clicks on a &quot;save this session&quot; button. A function call triggers this code:</p>
  <pre><code>// Go through all tabs in current window
  chrome.tabs.query({ currentWindow: true }, function (tabs) {
  
      // Iterate through each tab
      tabs.forEach(function (tab) {
  
          // Gets tab.url, tab.title, tab.favIconURL
      });
  });
  </code></pre>
  <p>I don't call this function anywhere else and it is ONLY triggered by a user gesture. There are similar questions on SO, but they don't clearly explain why requesting tabs permissions shows the warning &quot;Read your browsing history&quot;, when <a href="https://chrome-apps-doc2.appspot.com/extensions/permission_warnings.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">on their documentation they clearly state</a> that it should show &quot;Access your tabs and browsing activity&quot; which makes much more sense.</p>
  <p>If I had to install an extension that is suppose to save my tabs, but instead asks to read my browsing history, I wouldn't trust it at all. How am I suppose to gain users' trust? Is there another way around this?</p>
  <p>Even if I remove all <code>chrome.tabs</code> code or use <code>chrome.windows</code> instead, I still get this warning. Could it be that they have a bug and it is showing the wrong warning message?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance for your time.</p>
