In-depth safety analysis
To function as a tab and tab-group manager, this extension requests the tabs, tabGroups, storage, and contextMenus permissions. These allow it to read titles and URLs of open tabs, create and rearrange tabs and groups, save settings locally, and add right-click menu options. It also requests access to its own API endpoints at tabdeck.so, which is normal for syncing data across devices if you use an account. This permission set is typical and expected for a browser extension in this category.
Because tab managers inherently see all your open pages, you should only install them from publishers you trust. The developer declares collection of personally identifiable information — likely for account features — and states that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes. The limited host access (scoped to its own API) lowers the risk of data being silently sent elsewhere, but you should still review the privacy policy if you use the account functionality.
The extension’s safety profile highlights a strong Data & Privacy dimension (93/100), reflecting its scoped host permissions and clear privacy declarations. However, Community Reputation is notably lower at 56, suggesting mixed user ratings. You may want to check recent reviews for any recurring concerns about reliability or behavior before installing.
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.
