In-depth safety analysis
The extension requests only the tabs and tabGroups API permissions. This allows it to read the URLs and titles of all open tabs and interact with tab groups, which is directly necessary for a tool that copies tab URLs. The scope is both expected and minimal for a tab-management utility, and under Manifest V3 it cannot run persistent background scripts, further limiting its reach.
As with any extension that can access all open tabs, a careful user should understand that this permission inherently lets the extension see every URL currently open. While the developer has declared that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, the general risk with tab-accessing tools is that they could read your browsing history across all open windows if the code were altered. Because the publisher is an individual (the weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity), there is typically less public accountability or organizational oversight than with a well-known company. Users may want to verify that the extension’s functionality justifies granting this level of access, and remain mindful that ownership or updates could change its behavior over time.
The fact sheet shows a very strong Permissions & Access score (90%), confirming that the extension’s requested capabilities are tightly scoped to its function. The weakest dimension, Publisher & Identity (60%), reflects a limited public track record for this individual developer, which is a common caution point when evaluating browser extensions.

Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
