Is Restart Browser safe?
Restart Browser reads all open tab URLs and window structure on each navigation event and saves the data locally for session restoration.
On every navigation event, tab creation, or window change, the extension calls chrome.tabs.query to collect each tab's URL, pinned status, active state, index, and window grouping. This session snapshot is written to chrome.storage.local and used to reopen tabs when the browser is restarted. No data is transmitted to any remote server.
