One Million Tabs Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

The short version: everything stays on your device. We don't collect, transmit, sell, or share any of your data.

What the extension accesses

To list, search, sort, de-duplicate, move, and focus your browser tabs, the extension reads information from your browser locally:

• Tabs: titles, URLs, window, position, and audio (playing/muted) state, to show your tabs, find duplicates, flag stale ("zombie") tabs, and move or switch to them.
• Tab groups: only to collapse your other tabs into a single group when you turn on Focus mode, and to expand them again.
• Bookmarks: only to create a bookmark, in the folder you choose, when you click the bookmark button.

What the extension stores

A small amount of data is saved locally on your device using Chrome's storage.local:

• Your preferences (sort order, theme, popup width, focus state, etc.).
• Timestamps of when each tab was opened and last viewed, used to detect "zombie" tabs. This is pruned as tabs close.

This data never leaves your computer.

What we do NOT do

• We do not send your tabs, URLs, bookmarks, or any data to any server.
• We do not use analytics, tracking, or advertising.
• We do not run remote code.
• We do not sell or share data with third parties.

Optional links in the extension (feedback, subscribe, tip) simply open a web page in a new tab; no data about you is transmitted to those pages by the extension.

Permissions, plainly

• tabs: read tab titles/URLs and move/activate tabs.
• tabGroups: collapse/expand tabs for Focus mode.
• bookmarks: create bookmarks you ask it to.
• storage: save your preferences locally.

The extension requests no access to website content and no host permissions.
