Overview
Taskade Chrome Extension turns your New Tab into a productivity machine. With this extension, your goals and ideas are always just one tab away. Set Taskade to open in a new browser tab and use a powerful Web Clipper to capture content from the Web.
TL;DR: The Taskade Chrome extension puts your projects one tab away. Install it from the Chrome Web Store, then choose what your new tab opens to, like your last project, dashboard, or calendar. Use the Web Clipper to save highlighted text or pages straight into a project.

- 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.
- Extension conflicts — If another extension overrides your new-tab page, try disabling that extension or reinstalling Taskade last so it takes priority.

chrome://extensions/shortcutsfor even faster access.
