 OpenStreetMap (OSM) reverse geocoding, done via the [OSM Nomantim API](https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/api/Overview/), 
 used as part of OSM redirects, which can be disabled by toggling the OSM redirects.
 * It also connects to [this url](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libredirect/libredirect/master/src/instances/data.json) to update the Instances List. Though this only gets triggered when the user presses the `Update Instances` button.

-## Permissions
-* `webRequest`, `webRequestBlocking`: To block http requests or redirect them. e.g redirect to YouTube => Invidious before it can reach YouTube's servers.
- * `storage`: To save LibRedirect's settings permanently.
- * `cookies`: To apply settings on multiple instances. Note that we use localStorage too. Those options are disabled by default though.
- * `contextMenus`: For adding some buttons to the right click:\

- * `<all_urls>`: LibRedirect is dynamic and customizable. The targets e.g `https://youtube.com`, `https://twitter.com` are written in [Regex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) and are much more complicated than to be hard-coded in the manifest. Ex: [search Regex](https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect/blob/master/src/assets/javascripts/helpers/search.js#L6=). Further more, we need to access the instances sites too to inject some localStorage variables. There's also an option to `Always Use Preferred instances` that is to even redirect of any other invidious instance to your selected instances. This has to be dynamic and you may even add a custom instance which can't at all be hard-coded.
+* For bibliogram instances. To set a cookie you should send an http request to the server as the server stores settings values itself and gives you a token to access them.
 
 ## Future Changes
 If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page.
