Main Tab Group

What this extension does with data

Main Tab Group moves newly opened tabs into one tab group you choose for each Chrome window. It does not collect your name, email address, account, payment details, health information, location, messages, or the contents of web pages. It does not send data to the developer or to any other server.

Chrome Web Store policy still treats a tab address as user data when an extension reads it, even if the address never leaves the device. This page describes that use.

Read on this device, then discarded

• The address of a tab, including its pending address, is read only to decide whether that tab should join the chosen group.
• When a tab was opened by another tab, that opener’s address is read for the same decision.
• The navigation type is read to tell a new tab from a reload.

These values are not saved. The extension does not keep a list of pages you visited, page titles, or visit times.

Stored on this device

• Your settings: where new tabs are placed in the group, whether a group is chosen automatically, and your language choice. These stay in Chrome’s local extension storage.
• The group you selected for each open window, and whether moving is turned off for that window. This stays in Chrome’s session storage and is cleared when the browser session ends.
• A recovery checkpoint for ordinary windows: the tab’s numeric id, its group id, and a document id Chrome assigns to that document. The checkpoint does not include the page address or title. It is used only to restore the group you had chosen. Incognito windows are not written into this checkpoint.
• The light or dark appearance choice for the extension’s own pages, stored in this browser’s local storage for those pages.

Group names and colors are read from Chrome so the popup can list them. They are not uploaded.

Who receives it

No one. Data is not sold, not used for advertising, and not used to assess creditworthiness or for lending. The developer does not read it.

The use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
