In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests the tabs and tabGroups permissions, which let it read the URLs and titles of all open tabs and manage how they are grouped. Combined with storage and offscreen, it can save tab data locally and perform background tasks. It also connects to mixpanel.com for analytics and to a Google Cloud Run service, likely for syncing or remote features. For a tab manager, this scope is fairly typical, but it does mean the extension can see every website you visit and send information to external servers.
General safety advice for tab management tools: they have broad visibility into your browsing, so a careful user should verify the publisher’s reputation and privacy policy. Extensions that sync data to the cloud introduce additional risk if the service is compromised or changes hands. The developer states they collect personally identifiable information and authentication data, and that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, but these are self-declared claims.
In this case, the strongest dimension is Data & Privacy (93/100), indicating transparent privacy disclosures. The weakest is Community Reputation (57/100), with a moderate 3.4-star rating across 101 reviews. This mixed feedback does not point to a specific problem, but it suggests users may want to read recent reviews and stay alert to any changes in behavior or ownership.
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.
