MEDIUM
Overall Risk
Trust Factors: The extension has a concerning trust profile with only 7,000 users and a poor rating of 2.8 out of 5 stars from just 6 reviews, indicating user dissatisfaction. The lack of developer information and company details raises transparency concerns. However, the extension uses Manifest V3, which provides better security controls than older versions.
Concerns: The tabs permission is particularly concerning for a tab-saving extension as it grants broad access to all browser tabs, including the ability to read URLs, titles, and potentially sensitive information from all open tabs. While storage permission is expected for saving tab data, the combination allows the extension to collect and store comprehensive browsing information. The low user rating suggests potential functionality or reliability issues that could indicate poor development practices.
Recommendations: Given the medium risk level and trust concerns, consider running this extension in a separate Chrome profile to isolate it from your main browsing activities. Monitor the extension's behavior closely and be cautious about using it with sensitive websites or personal information. Consider alternative tab management extensions with better ratings, more users, and clearer developer information. If you must use this extension, regularly review what data it has stored and consider the privacy implications of your tab information being collected.
