hexagonTab is privacy first extension and does not save any user data on a remote database. All data is saved locally in the browser.

Data controls can be found in Settings Menu > Data.

Restore data

Use Settings Menu > Data > Restore > Import from file to restore a hexagonTab backup JSON file.

Bookmarks, Theme or Settings of a hexagonTab setup can be restored from a backup JSON file.

  • Selecting Bookmarks will import the user added bookmarks which will keep any custom Colours and Accents each may have.
  • Selecting Theme will import the Colour, Accent, Fonts, Background and any saved Custom Themes.
  • Selecting Settings will import the hexagon Grid column, perspective and position, Bookmark hover and shadow, and other user settings.

After selecting which parts of the backup JSON file to restore click Import to complete the process.

Backup data

Backup your hexagonTab setup frequently. This can easily be done from the Settings Menu > Data > Backup > Export Data.

A backup JSON file will be saved to your device. This backup file will be named with a date and timestamp for easy reference, e.g. hexagonTab backup - 2021.08.16 - 09 10 29.json.

You can use this backup file to restore your settings on any device with hexagonTab installed.

Clear data

Use Settings Menu > Data > Clear > Clear all data to reset hexagonTab to the default state.

Alternatively, reset hexagonTab to the default state while keeping all bookmarks and groups. This can be done from Settings Menu > Data > Clear > Clear all except bookmarks.
