New Permissions for Earnhoney HD$ Meter?

So I was just alerted by Chrome that the earn honey meter thingy I have, just updated and now it wants permission to:

"Read and change your data on a number of websites"

"Read my browsing history"

"Communicate with cooperating websites"

[EDIT] going to paste u/EarnhoneyOfficial reply here: "Hi Everyone. We have just updated permissions on the HD Meter. The extensions only functions are to show the HD$ and improve the user experience on EarnHoney and EarnHoney's partner sites. The chrome extension only runs on EarnHoney and partner sites. It does not insert ads anywhere. It does not look at browsing history outside of Earnhoney and partner sites. Hope this helps."

Sounds like I am being made into a product but not getting paid anymore HD for it; That first one I especially don't like as it can be used to insert extra adds. I just thought I'd let everyone know in case you use a similar Add-on in Firefox or IE or something and that browser doesn't warn you when an extension asks for additional permissions past the initial install. I for one am a little bummed to be losing the convenience, but those aren't permissions I'm comfortable granting. At least not for free =p
