4 built-in AI providers
Google AI Mode, Metaso, Grok, and X Search — switch with one click and your choice sticks across every new tab.
AI-Search-First New Tab
One tab. Every AI search.
Open a new tab, type your question once, and fire it at Google AI, Metaso, Grok, X — or any provider you wire in yourself. Arrow-key search history, daily backgrounds, no telemetry.
Why Your New Tab
Turn the new tab page into the sharpest AI entry point you have — not yet another start page you click through.
Bring your own provider
Paste any URL with a {query} placeholder in the popup; pick an icon and slot it into your provider list. Reorder freely.
Smart search history
ArrowUp/ArrowDown cycles your last 20 queries. Type a prefix first and history filters case-insensitively to matches.
Dynamic backgrounds
Daily-rotating images from Unsplash and Picsum, with optional GIF / WebP / MP4 URLs of your own cycled by the windmill button.
Configurable shortcuts
Maintain bookmarks as JSON in the popup: remote URL, local-only, or paste mode. Live-syncs across tabs without broadcast.
Privacy by default
No tabs permission. No content script. No telemetry. Config lives in localStorage; third-party requests go straight from your browser.
Frequently asked
Does it collect my search history?
No. History stays in your browser’s localStorage. The author runs no server that receives it. Uninstall the extension or clear browser data to remove it completely.
Can I add my own AI service?
Yes — open the popup → Search providers → Add, paste a URL like https://example.com/search?q={query}, pick an icon. The {query} placeholder is replaced with your query at search time.
Why no “tabs” permission?
To keep the permission surface minimal. The extension only owns the new tab page itself — it never reads your other tabs, so it doesn’t request the permission that would let it.
Where do the backgrounds come from?
Default backgrounds come from Unsplash and Picsum’s public endpoints, rotated daily and cached locally. You can also configure your own animated URLs, cycled by the windmill button.
Which browsers are supported?
Chromium-based browsers (Chrome / Edge / Arc / Brave) via the Chrome Web Store; Firefox via add-ons store or sideloaded zip.
Privacy at a glance
Privacy should be the default, not the upsell. The condensed summary below mirrors PRIVACY.md in the repo.
Stored locally
Search history, cached bookmarks, provider settings, animated background list, and language preference all live in your browser’s localStorage.
No data to the author
The extension itself never contacts an author-owned server. Background images are fetched directly from Unsplash / Picsum to sidestep CORS.
Queries go only to the provider you picked
Pressing Enter opens the selected provider’s URL in a new tab. The extension does not log, forward, or proxy your query.
No remote code
Remote bookmark JSON and background URLs are treated as data only. They are never executed as scripts.
