The permission "tabs" throws a warning to the users who install the extension saying that the extension can "Read your browsing history"
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/develop/concepts/permission-warnings#permissions_with_warnings

Permission "tabs" is used to monitor when a URL changes and adjust the extension's functionality accordingly (remove qapages or sspages settings etc, start blocking videos/images if it is a YouTube URL or stop if it is not). It is used here

Try to implement this with popstate listener in the content scripts (to inform the background script for changes in the URL or if a new page is YouTube or YouTube Music) and beforeunload listener (to inform the background script that this page was removed/changed to something else)
