Are tab manager extensions safe? Exactly what Flocci Tabs can see
Are tab manager extensions safe? What Flocci Tabs can and cannot see
Direct answer
A tab manager needs the "tabs" permission, which exposes tab titles and URLs. That is a real trust decision. Flocci Tabs sends only titles and domains, only when you invoke an AI action, only to Flocci’s own backend — never page contents, never form data, never a third-party analytics endpoint.
Step by step
- Automatic colour-grouping runs entirely on your device and sends nothing anywhere.
- AI grouping sends only tab titles and domains, and only when you click the AI action.
- The extension talks to exactly one host, api.tabs.flocci.in — declared in the manifest, verifiable in the store listing.
- Settings, templates and local analytics stay in Chrome storage on your machine.
- Snapshots are stored against your Flocci account and are readable only by you.
