Frequently asked

What does the Thanos extension do?

Thanos is a Chrome extension that closes a random half of your open browser tabs when you click the gauntlet in its popup. The tab you're currently viewing is always kept.

How does it choose which tabs to close?

It uses an unbiased Fisher–Yates shuffle, so every tab (except your active one) has an equal chance of being closed. Exactly half of the remaining tabs are dusted.

What permissions does it require?

None. Thanos requests zero permissions. It reads only tab IDs in order to close them — it never sees your tab titles, URLs, browsing history, or any personal data.

Does Thanos collect any data?

No. Thanos collects, stores, and transmits no data whatsoever. Everything runs locally in your browser. See the privacy policy for details.

Is it free, and is it official?

It's completely free and open source. It is a fan-made novelty extension and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Marvel or The Walt Disney Company.
