Privacy Policy — Ferna Tabs

Last updated: 23 September 2026

Ferna Tabs is a browser extension that shows your open tabs in a list at the mouse pointer. This policy applies to the Chrome extension and to the Firefox add-on of the same name.

Short version

Ferna Tabs collects nothing, stores no record of your browsing, and sends nothing to me or to anyone else. There is no account, no tracking, no analytics and no advertising.

What the extension reads, and why

• Your open tabs — their titles, addresses and icons, so they can be shown in the list and so a tab can be switched to, closed or pinned when you choose it. This information is read from the browser each time you open the list and is discarded when the list closes.
• Your bookmarks — read only, so they can be shown and searched in the list. The extension never creates, changes or deletes a bookmark.
• The mouse pointer position — used only to place the list on the page. It is not recorded.
• Text you type in the list — used to filter your tabs or bookmarks. If it is an address, the browser opens it; if it is not, the browser searches for it with the search engine you have chosen. The text is not stored.

The extension does not read the content of the web pages you visit.

What is stored

Only your own settings: the size of the list, the font and row size, and where bookmarks and typed addresses should open. These are kept by the browser's own extension storage. If you have browser sync turned on, your browser may sync these settings between your own devices; that is handled by the browser, not by me, and the settings contain no personal information.

Network use

The extension contacts no server of mine, because there isn't one. The only network activity is the browser loading the small site icon of each open tab, usually straight from its own cache, so the icons can be shown beside the tab titles.

Data sharing

No data is sold, transferred or shared with anyone. No data is used for any purpose unrelated to showing the tab list, and none is used for creditworthiness or lending purposes.

Permissions

• Tabs — list your open tabs and switch to, close or pin them.
• Access to all websites — draw the list inside whichever page you are viewing, follow the pointer position, and show tab icons.
• Bookmarks — show and search your bookmarks (read only).
• Search — run a search with your default search engine.
• Context menus — add the “Ferna Tabs Here” right-click item.
• Storage — save your settings.

Children

The extension is not directed at children and collects no information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new date.
