What's with the new permissions?

Blue Blocker v0.3.0 was pushed to the Chrome Web Store on June 27th added the ability for other extensions to integrate with it, allowing those extensions to either send additional users to Blue Blocker or have Blue Blocker send users to these extensions.

In order to allow the user to toggle these integrations on and off, the management api was added as a permission in the manifest, causing every user to get prompted to approve these new permissions.

Due to user backlash and, frankly, my not thinking things through regarding the breadth of permissions or their extremely vague descriptions, the management permission was removed from the manifest as fast as possible, and integration toggles were handled by instead sending a test message.

These changes are reflected in v0.3.1, though you may need to reinstall the extension to avoid agreeing to the management permissions.

The issue and discussion regarding this change have both been pinned for transparency.
