* This is Mozilla's way of saying that Tridactyl can read the content of web
pages. This is necessary in order to e.g. find the links you can follow
with the `:hint` command (bound to `f` by default).

* This permission is required for Tridactyl to interact with your
operating system (opening your editor to edit text areas, sending links to
your video player, reading a configuration file from your disk...). This
