Summary

The main task of this extension is to save sessions at any cost. As a repository, browser bookmarks are selected as the most reliable and secure storage.

The extension does not support "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" and "Tree Style Tab".

Why does MySessions require X permission?

Read and change bookmarks and access browser tabs. These are key permissions because all functions come down to bookmark bookmarks. Store an unlimited amount of data on the client side: local browser storage is used to save the timeline: periodic session snapshots, daily session snapshots and session snapshots when the browser is closed.

Optional permission. Download files, read and change browser download history: this permission is used to save session backups to a file.

Please note that in the Firefox version of this extension to resolve tab icons the following service is used: "https://icons.duckduckgo.com/ip3/{Domains_URL_of_a_tab}.ico". We don't collect cookies, password, e-mails or any other confidential info. Only domains (not full URLs) of the websites visited (if you allow) and nothing else.
