Description

This could be a specific request for webNavigation (which would be not be necessary on Firefox) and/or a generic additionalPermissions: ["webNavigation"] option.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add an optional `additionalPermissions` option that includes `webNavigation` when requested, and handle Firefox vs Chrome differences (Firefox doesn't need it). Update the documentation and tests accordingly.
