Overview
The Taskade Edge 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 Edge extension. Every new tab opens your last project, dashboard, calendar, or a new project. The Web Clipper clips web pages straight into a project. Customize new-tab behavior in Options, pin the extension to your toolbar, and add a keyboard shortcut for one-click access.
💡 Note: All browser extensions support Markdown syntax. Visit ✔️ Markdown Support to learn about all the other ways you can use Markdown in Taskade.
