New image search. A notification keeps coming up to say it needs permissions. I have allowed all permissions in settings on the browser and in my apps settings. I downloaded the add-on 3 times & not sure what to do with the api file. It does work to search images anyway. If I go to Add-ons in the menu & tap a picture, it does search. Should I set it to URL or clipboard?

Thanks for the link. No request comes up to accept the changes of the update. From that discussion I found 2 github discussions. It seems it's an error in the update that many are experiencing. Anyway the add-on does work so I will just live with the endless notification dots until they fix it.

This permission is mentioned in recent release notes, you can accept it by clicking the notification. Or turn off that addon, if you don't need it.

Try to turn that addon off and on.

I had already tried that. I uninstalled it and re-installed it. No permission request came up. But, GOOD NEWS, the notifications seem to have stopped.

Thanks for your time
