AI Newtab

AI Newtab: Browser extension that replaces the new tab page with a custom homepage generated from browser history.

AI Homepage replaces the standard browser new tab page with a custom page written by an AI agent. The agent analyzes browser history, opens visited pages in the background, and writes a fresh React component for the new tab. Users can configure layouts, visual styles, and content rules through settings. The extension runs a Claude Managed Agents session directly from a background worker using a personal Anthropic API key. It processes up to eight pages per build and deletes session data afterward.
