Hey! Totally understand this concern with the browser extension. I mentioned this in another comment, but there was no way to build the full functionality without these permissions, though we do hope to make a lighter version of the extension in the future for more privacy-conscious folks.

However, completely understand the request, and we do value privacy/security super highly. All extension data stays local on your device unless you actively press the extension button to save a page/content. You'd have to read our source code and network requests to confirm this right now, of course.

Another commenter also mentioned, we do indeed have a super light bookmarklet that can serve this purpose in the mean time as well

``` javascript:(function()%7Bopen('https://readwise.io/save?title='+encodeURIComponent(document...)() ```

Hope that helps!
