Why does Wikiwand now require new permissions
I'm just curious as to why it needs these new permissions, one of which is to INSTALL OTHER EXTENSIONS.
Please give your reasons. Otherwise, your extension is uninstalled until you do.

You can pay in cash or you can use your charge or Visa. In any case, most cab drivers acknowledge just significant charge cards, for example, Visa, MasterCard, or Discover. If you pay in cash, convey little bills with you so that you can pay your careful toll.

So as to concentrate in Canada, you should acquire a Canadian report license, which fills in as a Canadian understudy visa for the span of your remain. You needn't bother with a Canadian report grant if your course or program keeps going a half year or less.

The act of driving a car itself is not hard. Once you learn what all the buttons and controls do, it's actually quite easy to do. But, what's hard about driving is about the rules of the road.

I am VERY concerned about this. Also it is difficult to search web for info on "wikiwand" since so much comes back with calls to wikiwand on various topics per how it is used. I saw something that seems to indicate the permissions were rolled back since the beginning of October but not certain. When I search "permissions" on the https://wikiwand.uservoice.com support page, I get two things - an undated knowledge base article that doesn't cover this, and this page. It would be good to be able to find out exactly what is going on here so I can trust Wikiwand again. I mean, every single one of my Wikipedia searches goes through WIkiwand when it is enabled and that's a lot of private information and I'd like to have some confidence that it's not being used for nefarious purposes. Maybe you guys can update that knowledge base article (and add a date somewhere so we know how current it is). Thanks!

Just going to disable until someone can explain to me why this is needed. I'd recommend doing the same.

In https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/management#manifest , there is a note:
management.getPermissionWarningsByManifest, management.uninstallSelf, and management.getSelf do not require the management permission.
I think they only need to remove the requirement for management permission, and nothing more to do. -

I found some codes added after this update, and it suggested that the developer in Wikiwand believe that they need the managemant permission, so called MANAGE AND INSTALL OTHER EXTENSIONS, to run `chrome.management.getSelf`, but actually not.
````
(function () {
var isDevelopment = false;
chrome.management.getSelf(function ({ installType }) {
if (chrome.runtime.lastError) {
console.log(chrome.runtime.lastError.message);
return;
}
if (installType.toLowerCase() === 'development') {
isDevelopment = true;
console.log('Development mode', new Date().getTime());
}
});chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function (tabId, info) {
if (info.status === 'complete') {
chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabId, { type: 'extension-mode-development', payload: isDevelopment });
}
});
})();
