Hey uniquew,

Thanks for your question about the "Access your data for all websites" permission. We understand your concern, especially when comparing it with other text-to-speech extensions.

This permission, which is actually for the "active tab," is crucial for Helperbird to modify text, fonts, colors, and more on the page you're viewing. We assure you that nothing is sent or collected from your data – your privacy is our top priority.

We appreciate you bringing this up, and it's got us thinking: we're exploring ways to make this permission optional for users who only want to use the text-to-speech feature. Stay tuned for updates on this!

Thanks again for your feedback. It plays a big part in how we evolve and improve Helperbird.

Best,
Robert James Gabriel
