In-depth safety analysis
The extension requests only the “storage” permission, which allows it to save a small amount of data locally in your browser. It cannot read or modify anything on your visited websites, access your tabs, or interact with network requests. For a general utility like a multi-tab search tool, this minimal permission set is normal and expected — typically used to store your preferences or search engine choices.
For any general browser extension, even those with low permissions, a careful user should keep in mind that the developer’s account could be compromised in the future, leading to a malicious update. Additionally, if the extension ever changes its functionality or requested permissions, you should re-evaluate whether the new scope matches your trust. With a solo publisher identified only as “Luiz”, it is harder to assess long-term commitment compared to a recognized company.
The fact sheet shows a very strong Permissions & Access score (100%), reflecting the absence of overreach, while the weakest area is Maintenance & Ownership (30%). This suggests that while the extension is not currently risky in terms of what it can access, its long-term upkeep and the clarity of its developer identity are less assured. Users who value ongoing support and transparency might see this as a trade-off.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.

Who's Behind Multiple Tabs Search?
- Publisher Luiz
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.
