Raindrop Chrome extension now reads browser history?

Noticed this also today.

Any information on why this is needed? Do I again need to migrate all my bookmarks?

Any tips for selfhosted alternatives with good extensions?

edit: here is the justification from the author:

> Previously this permission have been opt-in to unlock features like "Save all tabs" and "Saved page indicator". But those features are esential and should be available right away, isn't? That's why I decided to require tabs permission by default. I have received dosens of emails from users complain about not working saved page indicator.
