In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests the ability to read and interact with data on every website you visit through the host permission and the scripting API. This is a very broad scope that lets it search the text content of all your open tabs, which is its core function. For a tab search tool, requesting access to all URLs is expected, but it also means the extension can technically see sensitive information displayed in any tab, such as emails, financial details, or private messages.
General-purpose browser extensions that can read all page content carry inherent privacy considerations. A careful user should be aware that such tools operate with significant trust, as they could potentially access or transmit data from any site. The publisher is an individual developer, which is common for smaller utilities but often means less publicly available accountability or organizational backing compared to established companies.
Looking at the available evidence, the strongest dimension for this extension is its community reputation, reflected in a solid user rating and a moderate number of reviews. The weakest dimension is publisher and identity, which typically indicates limited verified information about the developer. The developer has declared standard privacy practices regarding data handling, but these are self-reported and not independently verified.
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.

- Publisher lunu.bounir
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.
