User Reviews
Works as described, actually saves resources, and doesn't request access to anything suspicious or important (it can see your tab and tab group names and how recently you used a tab, but that's it).

Is Performance Tab Controller Safe?
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Performance Tab Controller requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
Risk impact analysis details
