Tab Groups Opener — Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 12, 2026

Tab Groups Opener is a Chrome extension that lets you save named groups of tabs and reopen each one with a keyboard shortcut. This document describes what data the extension handles and where it goes.

What the extension does

Tab Groups Opener does two things:

• Stores the tab groups you create — each group's name, list of URLs, slot number, and assigned shortcut letter — along with any letters you've marked off-limits in the Reserved Shortcuts panel and your UI preferences (such as whether the panel is expanded).
• Opens each URL in a group as a new tab when you press the group's keyboard shortcut.

What data is handled

Tab group data. All groups, reserved letters, notes, and UI preferences are stored locally in your browser via Chrome's chrome.storage.local API. They never leave your device.

Currently open tabs. When you click "Add All Open Tabs" inside a group, the extension reads the URLs of the tabs in your current Chrome window so it can add them to the group's URL list. This happens entirely within Chrome and the URLs are never transmitted anywhere.

Backups. If you use the Export feature, the extension generates a JSON file containing your groups and reserved letters and downloads it to your machine. The file is created locally — it is not uploaded anywhere. You decide where the file goes from there.

What data is not handled

• The extension does not collect or transmit your browsing history.
• The extension does not collect personal information, location data, financial data, or authentication credentials.
• The extension does not include analytics, telemetry, or third-party tracking.
• The extension makes no network requests of any kind — there is no backend server.
• The extension's developer has no access to any of your data.
