Features & Capabilities

Tailchrome connects Firefox to your Tailscale tailnet without a system VPN. Each browser profile gets its own Tailscale identity, keeping your personal and work tailnets separate.

Features: • Browse devices on your tailnet by name or IP • Per-profile Tailscale isolation • Exit nodes for routing through your tailnet • MagicDNS hostname resolution • Subnet routing support • Zero system networking changes • Shields Up mode

Setup: Install the extension, download the helper app, and log in. The helper app is a small native program that runs a Tailscale node per browser profile. Setup takes about 30 seconds.

How it works: A native messaging host runs locally and manages Tailscale connections per profile. Only Firefox traffic is routed through your tailnet. Your system networking is never modified.

Is Tailchrome 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.

Tailchrome requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Tailchrome is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
