Privacy Policy for Tab Manipulator

Effective date: August 12, 2026

Tab Manipulator processes information about currently open tabs, including URLs, titles, site icons, pinned status, tab position, and active status. This information is used only to display eligible tabs, manage the tabs selected by the user, rotate between them, refresh them, and safely restore active schedules.

Settings and active schedule information are stored locally in Firefox extension storage. While a schedule is active, this may include selected tab URLs and titles, local browser identifiers, timing information, and schedule status. Stopping a schedule removes its runtime tab information. Uninstalling the extension removes its remaining locally stored data through Firefox.

Tab Manipulator does not transmit browsing information, settings, errors, or usage data to BWork0 or any third party. It contains no analytics, advertising, remote logging, or remote executable code. No account is required.

The extension does not read webpage contents or access Firefox's browsing-history database. When it refreshes a selected tab, Firefox contacts that website in the same way it would during a manual refresh. The website's own privacy policy applies to that request.

Permissions used:

tabs: Lists eligible tabs and activates or reloads tabs selected by the user.

storage: Saves settings and active schedule state locally.

alarms: Runs rotation and refresh schedules.

Users control which tabs are automated and can stop active schedules at any time.

If these practices change, this policy will be updated before the changed version is released.
