title: Chrome extension: when is activeTab permission required
body: <p>I have read through Chrome extension documentation to understand when the activeTab permission is required and arrived at the conclusion that my Chrome extension will require activeTab permission. To my surprise, the behaviour is no different even when I remove activeTab permission from the manifest i.e it all works fine even when I don't include activeTab permission in my manifest. My code code includes below action on the tabs. Does this not warrant activeTab permission?</p>
  
  <pre><code>chrome.tabs.query({active: true, currentWindow: true}, function(tabs) {
     .....
  });
  
  chrome.tabs.create({url: '/logdisplay.html'}, (tab) =&gt; {
     ....
  })
  </code></pre>
