this seems like a security risk.
why do you have / need access to my data on any websites I visit?
why can't you only allow this extension on the clickup domain?
permissions: [
"tabs", "http://allowed-domain.com"
],

The ClickUp Chrome Extension requires the ability to "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit" because the extension must be able to access the web page to take screenshots and to attach URLs to tasks.
For example, Google offers a Save to Google Drive extension that allows you to right-click on any web page or link and save that page to your Google Drive. The extension requires the ability to "Read and change all your data on the websites you visit". But it needs this permission because, when you try to save content, the extension must be able to access the current web page and view its data.
There is no other data sent to ClickUp, except for error reports coming from the extension, and emails that you choose to attach to tasks.
Download management is for saving edited screenshots to your computer.
If you have any more questions for me, please let me know at any time and have a great day!
