Group Tabs By Domain

The extension has a reasonable user base of 5,000 users with a solid 4.3-star rating from 66 reviews, suggesting legitimate functionality and user satisfaction. The core purpose of grouping tabs by domain is a common productivity need that aligns well with the requested permissions. However, the lack of developer information and missing last updated date raises some transparency concerns.

The tabs permission is the primary concern as it grants broad access to all browser tabs, including URLs, titles, and the ability to manipulate tabs across all websites. While necessary for the extension's core functionality, this permission could potentially be misused to track browsing habits or access sensitive information from tab titles and URLs. The storage permission, though lower risk, allows the extension to persist data locally. The extension is also relatively new (version 0.0.1.2) with limited version history.

This extension appears legitimate for its stated purpose, but the broad tabs permission warrants caution. Consider running it in a separate Chrome profile if you frequently work with sensitive or confidential websites. Monitor the extension's behavior and review any data it might be storing. Given the missing developer information, be prepared to remove the extension if any suspicious activity is detected. The functionality-to-risk ratio seems reasonable for users who genuinely need tab organization features.
