Required Permissions for the Tomba Extension

To function effectively, the Tomba Chrome Extension / Firefox Add-on requires a few specific permissions. Here’s what they mean and why they matter:

Read and change data on tomba.io and other websites

This allows the extension to enhance your experience on Tomba.io and support integrations with other websites in the future. It enables the extension to read necessary content and adapt pages for better usability.

Read your browsing history

This permission is used only to detect the domain of the website you're currently visiting when you click the Tomba extension icon. It ensures that your Tomba search is accurately linked to the website you're on.

Only relevant data is accessed, and only when needed.

🔄 Communicate with cooperating websites

This enables smooth communication between the extension and the Tomba platform. For example, it helps us detect if the extension is already installed—so we don’t send you unnecessary notifications.


Your privacy and security are important to us. These permissions are used solely to power core features of the extension and provide a seamless experience.
