Privacy Policy

Even Better OneTab browser extension · Last updated July 10, 2026
In short: your data stays on your device. We collect nothing, transmit nothing to our own servers (we don't have any), and include no analytics or trackers. Optional sync sends your lists only to your own GitHub account.

What the extension stores

When you store tabs, Even Better OneTab saves the titles, URLs, favicon addresses, and tab-group names of those tabs — along with list names, tags, colors, your settings, and a recently-deleted history — in your browser's local extension storage. This data never leaves your device unless you enable sync.

What we collect

Nothing. The extension contains no analytics, no telemetry, no error reporting, no advertising, and no third-party services. The developer never receives, sees, or has access to any of your data.

Optional GitHub Gist sync

If you choose to enable sync, you provide a GitHub access token that you create on your own GitHub account. The extension then uploads your tab lists as a private gist on your account, communicating directly with GitHub's API (api.github.com) over HTTPS. No server other than GitHub's is ever contacted, and the developer has no access to your token, your gist, or your lists. Your token is stored in the extension's local storage on your device. GitHub's handling of your data is governed by GitHub's Privacy Statement.

The mobile viewer

The companion mobile viewer page works the same way: the token and gist id you enter are stored only in that browser's local storage, on that device, and are used solely to fetch your gist from GitHub's API. The page has no analytics and no backend.

Permissions, briefly

Data removal

Uninstalling the extension deletes all locally stored data. If you used sync, you can delete the gist from your GitHub account at any time; disconnecting sync in the extension's settings removes the token from your browser.
