The product looked interesting! Curious I checked your website, went to the Chrome Web Store, clicked +Add to Chrome, but then these "permissions request" stopped me!
- Read and change all your data on the websites you visit
- Read data that you copy and paste
Just a feedback, I think many will be scared just like me

@sarthakmoghe thanks for this and yes it can be scary. We do show a message at the time of downloading our extension to reassure people that we don't use/change (or even access, we have strict policies internally) personal data of people. But this is the nature of google permissions for chrome extensions and is less in our hand. As a startup that's the last thing we'd want to do. Google shows such permissions as we need users to be able to easily copy/paste text into video frames. In actuality big chrome extensions (evernote etc..) have same permissions access but people trust a known brand more. I hope that helps?
