Weaver is a Chrome extension for organizing browser tabs and windows. Its core processing happens locally in the browser. Weaver does not operate an account system, analytics service, advertising service, or cloud service.
To provide its features, Weaver reads information Chrome exposes about open tabs and windows, including:
Weaver uses this information to display and search tabs, sort and move tabs, merge windows, identify duplicate tabs, suspend or resume tabs, and save or restore named window snapshots.
Weaver stores the following data in Chrome extension storage on the user’s device:
When restoring suspended tabs, Weaver may temporarily keep the saved title and URL in Chrome’s session-only extension storage so the restored tab remains identifiable before Chrome loads it. That temporary metadata is removed after Chrome provides the tab’s real metadata, the tab navigates, the tab closes, or the browser session ends.
Weaver does not send tab lists, browsing history, saved windows, settings, or custom rules off the user’s device. Weaver does not sell personal information and does not share it with advertisers, data brokers, or analytics providers.
Chrome may retrieve a website’s icon through its normal browser behavior when that icon is displayed. This is browser behavior and is not a separate transmission of the user’s tab list by Weaver.
Weaver’s use of information received from Chrome APIs adheres to the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Weaver uses tab and window information only to provide and maintain the user-facing features described in this policy.
Saved windows and settings remain in Chrome extension storage until the user changes or deletes them, clears the extension’s data, or uninstalls Weaver. Session-only restored-tab metadata does not persist after the browser session.
Weaver requests Chrome’s tabs, tabGroups, and storage permissions. These permissions are used only for the tab and window management features described in this policy. Weaver does not inject scripts into websites and does not request access to website content.
If Weaver’s data practices materially change, this policy, the Chrome Web Store disclosure, and the in-product About information will be updated before the new behavior is enabled.
