- 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.
