Installs with no permission warnings

Reloading a tab does not require permission to read it, so a basic refresh needs no site access at all. Auto Refresh asks for a single site only when you switch on something that genuinely has to read the page — sub-30-second intervals, scroll memory, or change monitoring — and it asks at the moment you click Start on that site.
