Permissions seem to be a pretty empty metric if you don't' know what the result is...

What was the impact of fewer permissions?

Let's assume PushBullet was doing something bad with some of those permissions and gathering data? Do they no longer have access to that data? I'm not sure that's the case, permissions alone don't determine that.

If PushBullet wasn't doing anything bad, did anything change?

Is it a positive thing for users when the extension disappears in a few days?
