v1.0.1

Summary

• Remove of unnecessary permission

  If you installed the AWS search extension previously, you might have been asked to allow the extension to "Read your browsing history" or "Access browser tabs". The only tab-access AWS search extension has ever needed was to open a URL in the current tab, which does not require the permission that would also allow for reading browsing history or interact with all tabs.

  As of version 1.0.1 this permission is no longer requested!

If you are coming from an earlier version, you can find the version 1.0.0 release notes here.

About AWS search extension

AWS search extension is a browser-extension compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Edge (and probably most Chromium-based browsers). It provides search results for AWS API references and the AWS CloudFormation reference, and opens the official AWS documentation page when you select an item by pressing Enter.

You can start searching by typing the keyword ase into the searchbar, followed by a space (or also tab in Chromium-based browsers), which will select the AWS search extension. Everything you now type will search through the included indices of the AWS CloudFormation and AWS API documentation.

You can find detailed information on how to structure in the official README.
