storage
Required
Why required: Used to write your saved shortcuts, workspace categories, quick notes, local usage statistics, and user preferences directly to chrome.storage.local on your device.
What is NOT collected: Storage is completely isolated inside your local browser profile and is never synced or uploaded to cloud servers.
tabs
Required
Why required: Necessary to open shortcuts, identify active website origins for optional local usage stats and limits, and support seamless in-dashboard workspace navigation.

bookmarks
Manual Action Only

What is NOT collected: Bookmarks are never read automatically or in the background. Imported items stay 100% on your device.
contextMenus
Required
Why required: Adds standard right-click context menu options ("Add to Tabvora") so you can quickly save web pages or links to your workspace dial.
favicon
Required
Why required: Uses Chrome's native internal favicon service to render crisp site icons on your shortcut cards without making requests to third-party icon APIs.
