I understand your concern. The extension no longer requires these permissions. These were added to enable the JavaScript API. The API is now an optional setting.

All the search providers are working in testing. Can you explain how you are using it and what options you selected?

Thanks for your feedback.

The next version will include an "On all services" option for the "One service at a time" search style. The Chrome version is already updated but the Firefox version requires approval from Mozilla which takes a few weeks.
