Why do you need permission to read history & bookmarks?

why would anyone want to open up an end run around github's site security? anyone with sensitive repositories (trade secrets, API keys...) would be an idiot to install this extension.

I don't. It was a quick hack of my other extension where I do need those permissions and this slipped through the cracks. Removed and uploaded a new version. Should become active shortly.

GitHub is a tremendous source of code and projects. Great for everyday work, inspiration and learning. Nice extension and too bad it's for Chrome only.

I've recently hacked a quick app for fast access to GitHub stars [1], just because I needed it so badly, although you (currently) can't tag repositories, only save your searches.

Sorry, couldn't figure out what it does. Is it searching your starred projects maybe?

An alternative I like that doesn't involve a chrome extension is AstralApp. http://astralapp.com

Very nice UI.

Yeah, searching any user's starred projects. Yours or somebody else. Try it out at http://stuff.hanula.com/starhub/

I've been using a native mac app called ohmystar that looks very similar to astralapp!!! http://www.ohmystarapp.com/
