Thanks for raising this concern. You’re right that we should have explained the permission changes more clearly.

The alarming permission categories came entirely from one feature: Email this page, which needed access to pass along the recipient’s email address. We’ve removed that feature. PrintFriendly has never requested financial information, health data, your location, or login information.

We’re rebuilding the email feature in a more privacy-friendly way so the extension won’t need access to contacts or messages. We appreciate you calling this out, and your feedback helped us improve both the permissions and how we communicate changes.
