Much of the time, I will have a lot of open browser tabs. As a result, I could very much use an app or extension that allows me to list my open tabs and/or to scan through them (and even better would be one that lets me list them alphabetically or in other ways).
I am a bit concerned, though, about the warnings I got about it from Chrome:
I understand, and accept, the first warning. Comes with the territory.
I am concerned about the second one, however. When it says that the program can access my data on all websites, does that include my passwords for those sites and other log-in related information?
I have no idea, but if anyone is proficient in Javascript, here’s the source code which you can probably skim to make sure it’s not doing anything funny.
Edit: Usually this is just so that it can scan fields on websites. For instance, my password manager needs this permission because it needs to read the password field. It’s possible a tab manager needs to read some stupid header data or something and Google Chrome forces it to need this permission to do that. So the extension probably has access to the password field, but I doubt it actually uses it, it probably needs the permission for something else.
I wrote the QuickTabs extension and just wanted to assure you that the extension does not read any sensitive data from the pages you visit. In the past the extension did need to inject JavaScript code into the loaded pages to allow the shortcut keys to work but this is no-longer the case. It reads the tab URL, favicon and ties into tab lifecycle events like create/close etc.
I hope this helps set your mind at easy, the code being publicly posted lets people review it and even contribute fixes (for which I am very grateful)
