Removal of "Read and modify browser settings" permission possible?

[its-me-ct]

This plugin the permission to "Read and modify browser settings", which I consider problematic form a security point of view.

What is this permission used for? Only the initial setup where the plugin sets itself as the main search engine? I think this plugin is aimed towards power users who have no issue with some manual setup in return for higher security.

(Except this minor nitpick I really like the plugin, especially the chaining feature is super powerful)
