This Add-on works with plain links directing to an image file and when the image is served as a data URI. It also requires less and unnecessary privileges than other extensions of this kind.

Required permissions to operate are: downloads, contextMenus

Deceptive description. Why does this extension require "Read your browsing history" permission? It advertises "requires less and unnecessary privileges than other extensions of this kind" but there are plenty of similar extensions that require ONLY permission to "Manage your downloads."

Was this helpful?

It was shown because of the "tabs" permission. It can though not be the ONLY permission needed while keeping the same functionality. Yes, I'm sure that after two years plenty of new add-ons were published with that in mind - it was however not back then. For a future note, APIs and permission models change over time. Anyway, I removed the extra "tabs" permissions in v2.0.4.
