Is Session Collector - Smart Tab Manager safe?
Session Collector encrypts your saved tab sessions with a key anyone can derive from your email address alone.
Session Collector saves your open tabs (URLs, page titles, favicons, pin state) and uploads them to a file in your own Google Drive. Before uploading, it encrypts that data with a key built from your email address plus a hardcoded string and a hardcoded salt that are identical in every install, so no vendor secret is needed to reverse the process. Anyone who obtains the encrypted file and knows your email address can recompute the same key and decrypt your full saved tab history.
