Gmail Tab to Indent reads nothing and sends nothing.
It stores exactly one value — an on/off boolean — in Chrome's synced
extension storage, and makes zero network requests of any kind.
What it does
A content script runs on https://mail.google.com/*. While
your cursor is inside Gmail's compose message body, it intercepts the
Tab key to insert an indent (and Shift+Tab
to remove one) instead of letting Tab move keyboard focus. Everywhere
else in Gmail, Tab behaves exactly as it always has.
What it accesses
- It does not read the content of your emails, drafts, contacts, or any other Gmail data.
- It does not use OAuth or any Google API. It has no
host_permissions— only a content script matchingmail.google.com, which lets it watch keystrokes on the page but grants no access to your Google account. - The only piece of state it keeps is a single boolean,
enabled, stored via thestoragepermission inchrome.storage.sync— Chrome's own synced settings store, the same one an extension uses to remember any simple preference. This is what lets the on/off state follow you between your devices.
What it never does
- No network requests — no
fetch, no analytics, no telemetry, no remote code of any kind. - No servers. There is nothing on the other end to send data to.
- No selling, sharing, or transferring of data, because none is collected in the first place.
Data retention & deletion
The single enabled boolean is deleted automatically when
you uninstall the extension, along with everything else Chrome stored
for it.
