It's probably requesting "tabs" permissions. The Chrome security permissions aren't fine grained enough so often you need to request permission for a lot more than you actually need. For some reason requesting "tabs" shows a scary warning about having access to all your history. You'll find that a ton of extensions need access to your history for this reason, it's actually really annoying as an extension developer.
