Privacy Policy for Omni Search

Last Updated: January 28, 2026

Overview

Omni Search is a browser extension that provides unified search across your tabs, bookmarks, browsing history, and recently closed tabs. This privacy policy explains how the extension handles your data.

Data Collection

Omni Search does not collect, transmit, or share any personal data. All data processing happens locally on your device.

Data Storage

The extension stores the following data locally on your device:

  • User Preferences: Settings such as content search enabled/disabled are stored using Chrome's local storage API.
  • Content Index (Optional): If you enable the content search feature, extracted text from your web pages is cached locally using IndexedDB. This data never leaves your device.

Permissions

The extension requests the following permissions:

  • tabs - Access tab titles and URLs for search functionality
  • tabGroups - Display tab group names and colors in search results
  • bookmarks - Search your bookmarks
  • history - Search your browsing history
  • sessions - Access recently closed tabs for search and restoration
  • storage - Store user preferences locally
  • scripting - Extract page content for optional content search feature

Optional Permission

  • <all_urls> - Only requested if you enable the content search feature. Used to extract text content from web pages for local indexing.

Third-Party Services

Omni Search does not use any third-party services, analytics, tracking, or external servers. The extension operates entirely offline after installation.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your data to any third parties. Your browsing data stays on your device.

Data Retention

  • Preference data persists until you uninstall the extension or clear browser data.
  • Content search index is automatically cleaned up when tabs are closed.
  • You can clear the content index at any time through the extension interface.

Children's Privacy

Omni Search does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age.
