BaseTab AI is a browser extension that replaces your blank new tab page with a workspace you build yourself out of widgets. You can drag in things like bookmarks, notes, to-do lists, a Kanban board, a Pomodoro timer, weather, market tickers, and quick previews of Gmail, Google Calendar, and Docs. It also lets you chat with AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini without leaving the tab. To get started, install it from your browser’s extension store (it supports Chrome, Firefox, and several other browsers), open a new tab, and start adding and resizing widgets until the layout suits you.
Signing in lets you sync your setup across devices, and it caches your data so the page still loads offline. A tip: start with just a handful of widgets for the tools you open every day, then add more over time so the page stays clean. The BaseTab extension is free to install and offers one workspace under the free plan – there’s also a paid plan plus an enterprise option available for heavier usage.
