Tab Tamer browser extension · Last updated 2 August 2026

Tab Tamer collects nothing and transmits nothing. The extension makes no network requests at all — there is no server, no account and no analytics. Everything it shows you is read from your own browser and stays there.

What the extension can access, and why

Chrome asks you to grant these permissions when you install Tab Tamer. Each one exists for a single visible feature:

`tabs`	Read the titles and URLs of your open tabs so they can be listed, searched, switched to, closed, suspended and deduplicated. This is the extension's core function.
`storage`	Store your saved sessions and your chosen theme in your browser's local storage, on your device.
`bookmarks`	Read your bookmarks so they can appear in search results next to your open tabs.
`scripting` + `activeTab`	Draw the search palette on the page you are currently looking at — and only when you open it. Tab Tamer does not have permission to run on sites in the background.
`favicon`	Show each site's icon in the list. Icons are read from Chrome's own local favicon cache, never fetched from the internet.
`history` (optional)	Only requested if you press "Include history" yourself. Until you do, Tab Tamer never touches your browsing history — and you can revoke it at any time from `chrome://extensions`.

What Tab Tamer does not do

It does not collect, transmit, sell or share any personal or browsing data.
It does not use analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, cookies or advertising.
It does not require an account, a sign-in or an email address.
It does not load remote code, remote fonts or remote images.
It does not read or modify the content of the pages you visit.

Where your data lives

Saved sessions (their names, and the titles and URLs of the tabs in them) and your theme preference are written to your browser's local extension storage. They never leave your device. Tabs opened in Incognito windows are deliberately excluded from saved sessions.

Deleting your data

Delete individual sessions from inside the extension, or remove Tab Tamer from chrome://extensions — uninstalling deletes everything it stored. There is nothing held anywhere else to request or erase.

Children

Tab Tamer is a general-purpose utility, is not directed at children, and collects no data from anyone.
