Could you please explain why this change is necessary? I have stopped using this extension as a result of this change.

The latest update enables this extension to use with hosts other than Kutt.it. In order for that to work, the extension has to access all
http://*/andhttps://*/hosts to request shortening.It was set to
https://kutt.it/*in the earlier versions.See this commit and this issue to clarify.
Also, just to be clear, no personal data is collected with this extension. As for the permission, the extension has to have the ability to request to any host, the user sets.
eg: https://uhl.site

@abhijithvijayan that still doesn't change my mind.
@vrumger commented on GitHub:
@abhijithvijayan I like the idea of supporting self hosted Kutt but I don't think that requesting this permission is a good idea.
@abhijithvijayan commented on GitHub:
@YouTwitFace Literally almost all url shorteners out there, request this permission.
Inspect the manifest json of this
@abhijithvijayan commented on GitHub:
@YouTwitFace The whole idea of Kutt is an open source url shortener for all. I just made the extension to work with the custom host. I even found that some hosts can give response in under a second.
Take uhl.site for instance. Sign up and test it out yourself to see if it was worth it.

Closing.
