Remove the unnecessary "tabs" permission

[djcrock]

Currently, when installing the extension from the Chrome web store, the user is notified that the extension can Read your browsing history.

According to the docs, this is because the tabs permission is requested. However, the tabs permission is only required if any of the following attributes of the tab object are needed:

• url
• pendingUrl
• title
• favIconUrl

Per the docs, the tabs permission (emphasis mine):

Gives your extension access to privileged fields of the Tab objects used by several APIs including chrome.tabs and chrome.windows. In many circumstances your extension will not need to declare the "tabs" permission to make use of these APIs.

This extension does not use any of these properties, so it can use the chrome.tabs API without requesting the tabs permission. Removing this permission request will give users more confidence that the extension is secure and safe to use, since they will no longer be notified that it can read their browsing history.
