All other permissions in the manifest are needed:

  • storage to use sync and managed storage
  • activeTab and contextMenus through the webext-domain-permission-toggle dependency, and our own feature to allow the user to request permissions for the active tab from the extension's popover.

The cookies API, meanwhile, is not used in our codebase (it's only declared in the vendored webextension-polyfill types).
