Is zzzTab safe?

What zzzTab does with your data

Your list of sleeping tabs is saved in your own browser and nowhere else. zzzTab has no servers and no accounts, so there is nowhere for it to send anything.

It goes further than a promise: the extension declares a security policy that stops Chrome from letting its pages connect to the internet at all.

What permissions it asks for, and why

Tabs

Read the title and link of what you snooze, close it and open it again.

Tab groups

Put each tab back in its group.

Storage

Keep your list in this browser.

Alarms

Wake each tab at its time.

Site icons

Show each tab’s icon without going online.

Sound

Play the soft sound on wake-up.

Show on the page (optional)

Only if you turn it on: draw your note over the tab that wakes up. Chrome words it as “read and change data on all sites”; zzzTab only draws the note, it doesn’t read your pages or send anything.

The “all sites” permission

It is optional and off by default. You only turn it on if you want your note to appear over the page when a tab comes back. Chrome words it as “read and change data on all sites”, but zzzTab only draws the note: it doesn’t read your pages or send anything.

If you don’t turn it on, everything else works and nothing changes.

And this website?

This website only keeps what you choose to send us (a vote, an idea or a message) and counts visits without cookies. The details are in the privacy policy.

How to delete everything

Remove the tabs from the list, or uninstall zzzTab: everything it stored is deleted, including the backup copy.
