Is Smart Sessions - Tab Manager safe?
Smart Sessions - Tab Manager saves tab URLs and titles and backs them up with Chrome sync storage.
When saving sessions, the extension reads open browser windows and records each tab's title, URL or pending URL, group information, incognito flag, favicon, and pinned state. It stores those saved sessions locally and backs them up through chrome.storage.sync after clearing prior sync entries.
