I don't. It was a quick hack of my other extension where I do need those permissions and this slipped through the cracks. Removed and uploaded a new version. Should become active shortly.
why would anyone want to open up an end run around github's site security? anyone with sensitive repositories (trade secrets, API keys...) would be an idiot to install this extension.
GitHub is a tremendous source of code and projects. Great for everyday work, inspiration and learning. Nice extension and too bad it's for Chrome only.
I've recently hacked a quick app for fast access to GitHub stars [1], just because I needed it so badly, although you (currently) can't tag repositories, only save your searches.

Very nice UI.
Do you prefer a native app over a browser extension?
