User Reviews
Very useful add-on for my research! I always want to refer to the URL that leaded to an interesting piece, but with many tabs it would be complicated without this, even more if the original tab was closed at some point.

Is Tab Origin 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.
Tab Origin requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
