Privacy permission in chrome extensions

[Ritik Roongta]

Is it true that the privacy permission cannot be requested as part of 'optional_permissions' in mv2. The mv2 documentation does not seem to mention that explicitly.

Also how much sense does it make to have a chrome extension installed for disabling prefetching and hyperlink auditing compared to simply switching it off in the browser setting (considering the extension's sole job is to disable those traits)?

Hi Ritik!

`privacy` permission can be added in optional_permissions, here is a demo in mv2. Keep in mind that you can not publish a new mv2 extension. Please let us know if you have any questions about mv3 migration!
