Overview
The Taskade Brave Extension replaces your New Tab page. Your projects and ideas stay one tab away. Set Taskade to open in a new browser tab. Use the Web Clipper to capture content from the web.
TL;DR: Install the Taskade Brave extension to open Taskade on every new tab and capture pages with the Web Clipper. Pick what the new tab shows, from your last project to your dashboard or calendar, and right-click any text to send it straight into a project.

Tips
- Pin the extension. Click the puzzle-piece icon in Brave's toolbar. Then click the pin icon next to Taskade. The extension stays visible, one click away.
- Use the Web Clipper. Right-click any highlighted text or page and select Add to Taskade to clip content directly into a project. Learn more in the Web Clipper guide.
- Brave Shields compatibility. Brave's built-in Shields normally do not interfere with the Taskade extension. If you see a problem, add
taskade.comto your Shields allow list. - Same as Chrome extensions. Brave is Chromium-based, so the Taskade extension is identical to the Chrome extension. Both get the same updates at the same time.
💡 Tip: Use the browser extension alongside Taskade Genesis to capture ideas and build AI-powered workflows from anywhere.
