★ PERMISSIONS ★

Checkbot will ask for the "Read and change all your data..." permission when being installed on Google Chrome. This permission is required to let Checkbot send network requests to any of the sites you might ask Checkbot to crawl and test. Checkbot only reads data coming from the network requests it makes itself and Checkbot only makes network requests when the tab for the extension is open. Your regular browsing will be unaffected.
