Tab Solitaire does not collect, store, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. Everything the extension does happens on your computer.
Tab Solitaire is a Chrome extension that closes the open tabs in your current window with an animation and saves a list of them so you can reopen them later.
To do its job, the extension reads the following from Chrome, and nothing else:
| Data | Why | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Titles and web addresses (URLs) of the open tabs in the current window | To show each tab as a card and list it so you can reopen it | Saved only in Chrome's local extension storage on your device |
| Site icons (favicons) | To display each site's icon and color on its card | Read from Chrome's own favicon cache; never sent anywhere |
| Your sound on/off preference | To remember whether you muted the extension | Saved only in Chrome's local extension storage on your device |
Chrome shows the following when you install the extension:
tabs — shown by Chrome as "Read your browsing history." This is what gives an extension the title and URL of open tabs. Tab Solitaire uses it only for the tabs in the window you choose to clear.storage — to save your list of closed tabs and your sound preference locally.favicon — to display site icons on the cards.Your saved tabs stay in Chrome's local storage until you remove them. You can delete individual tabs or whole groups from the extension's table page at any time. Uninstalling the extension deletes all of its stored data.
No data is shared with third parties because no data leaves your device. The extension's pages link to the developer's Buy Me a Coffee page; following that link takes you to a third-party website with its own privacy policy.
The extension is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone.
If the extension ever changes how it handles data, this page will be updated and the "last updated" date changed. Any such change would also be reflected in the extension's Chrome Web Store listing and permission prompts.
Questions about this policy can be sent to the publisher contact email shown on the extension's Chrome Web Store listing.
