Help & FAQ.

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Which browsers does TermTab support? ›

Any Chromium-based browser — Google Chrome, Brave, and Microsoft Edge.

Does TermTab collect my data? ›

No. Your settings are saved locally on your device through the browser's storage. There are no accounts, analytics, or trackers. See the Privacy Policy for details.

How do I add a custom search engine? ›

Open Settings (the gear in the top-right of a new tab), choose “Add custom engine,” and paste a search URL with %s where the query should go.

Why does it ask for access to duckduckgo.com / duck.ai? ›

Only for the optional “Duck.ai” button. Because Duck.ai's chat page can't take the query in the URL, the extension types your query into the chat box for you. It runs only on those two pages and does nothing else.

How do I pin or remove shortcuts? ›

Use the “+” tile to add a shortcut, hover a tile to edit or remove it, and find “Clear all shortcuts” in Settings. New installs start with an empty board so you can build your own.
