Is Edge Workspaces safe?
Edge Workspaces saves tab URLs, titles, and tab metadata to browser storage, sync storage, and bookmarks.
When you save a workspace from a window, Edge Workspaces queries every tab in that window and records each tab's URL, title, favicon URL, index, pinned and active state, window ID, muted state, and group ID. It writes that workspace data to local extension storage, sends it through chrome.storage.sync by default, and copies the saved tabs into an Edge Workspaces bookmarks folder by default.
