How Tab Scissors Works
Tab Scissors operates entirely within your local browser environment:

- No internet connection required for functionality
Permissions Used
Tab Scissors requests minimal permissions for its core functionality:
- Tabs permission: To read tab titles and URLs for organization purposes
- Storage permission: To temporarily store undo information locally in your browser
- ActiveTab permission: To interact with your current tab for position-relative operations
All permissions are used solely for the extension's core tab management functionality.
Local Data Storage
The only data stored by Tab Scissors is:
- Temporary undo information (tab URLs and titles) stored locally in your browser storage
- This information is automatically deleted after 10 minutes or when you close your browser
- No data is stored on external servers or cloud services
- All storage is handled by your browser's built-in storage APIs
Third-Party Services
Tab Scissors does not integrate with or send data to any third-party services, analytics platforms, or external APIs.
Data Security
Since Tab Scissors doesn't collect or transmit data:
- There are no data breaches possible
- No personal information can be compromised
- All operations are contained within your local browser environment
Children's Privacy
Tab Scissors does not collect data from anyone, including children under 13. The extension is safe for users of all ages.
