Summary
The add-on requires permission to access only relevant Github pages, but it's only evaluating the URLs and determining whether or not to redirect to the same URL with "w=1" appended. It is not reading any content.

User reviews
I found a bug after installing the extension, when I click on a commit to view it's keep loading on the same tab, if I try to open on a new tab it ends up with the error unable to load page, can you check?
