🔐 Permissions (Simple & Transparent)

GitFlex only requests what it truly needs to enhance your GitHub experience:

- github.com — Required to add features and enhancements to the GitHub interface
- clipboardWrite — Enables the "Copy link with title" feature
- storage — Saves your GitFlex preferences
- scripting — Enables the Global Issue Creator to work on custom domains you authorize (e.g., your company's internal sites, documentation pages, or localhost development servers). This allows you to report issues from anywhere, not just GitHub. You control which domains get access through settings.
- activeTab — Allows the extension to interact with the currently active tab when you use features like keyboard shortcuts
