Olho Permission Explanations

Olho requests only permissions required for implemented local-first features.

activeTab

Used only when you start a capture action, so Olho can capture the current tab view.

tabs

Used to:

  • resolve the active tab for capture actions
  • open Olho pages (editor.html, gallery.html, record.html, export-report.html, privacy.html)

scripting

Used to inject temporary local overlays/scripts for:

  • focus area selection
  • full-page capture progress and stitching helpers
  • focus element selection

Host permissions (<all_urls>)

Used only for local in-browser capture reliability on regular web pages so Olho can:

  • inject capture scripts consistently for full-page/region/element capture
  • call tabs.captureVisibleTab() reliably in popup-tab/debug flows where one-time activeTab grants are not available
  • capture and stitch long pages without relying on one-time activeTab grant edge cases

clipboardWrite

Used when you explicitly click copy actions in Olho pages.

storage

Used for local persistence:

  • IndexedDB media library and thumbnails
  • settings/preferences
  • small migration/session state in extension storage

sidePanel

Used to open the local Olho Review side panel beside the current page after explicit user action. The side panel runs local visual review controls and does not upload screenshots.

desktopCapture

Used to start browser-native screen, window, or tab recording after user action.

downloads

Used only when you explicitly export/download files.

offscreen

Used for local offscreen document processing to generate video poster thumbnails.

Not Requested

Olho does not request:

  • identity/account permissions
  • background network permissions
