THREE PILLARS
What makes Tabbit the best browser research agent
Execute on the real web
Agent Mode fills forms, navigates portals, and completes multi-step flows—not just summarizing the page you already have open.
Context you can see
The Omnibox @ menu pulls live tabs, tab groups, screenshots, and local files into the prompt—no brittle copy-paste chains.
Deliver research artifacts
Deep research across the open web returns memos, tables, and timelines you can share—while your reading layout stays vertical and grouped.

FAQ
Browser research agent questions
What is the best AI agent for browser and research?
For most knowledge workers, Tabbit Browser balances autonomous Agent execution with a clean research layout—isolated Agent tab groups, @ context from open tabs, and multi-model support on Windows and macOS, free to download.
How is Tabbit different from Perplexity Comet or ChatGPT Atlas?
Comet and Atlas excel at conversational browsing inside their ecosystems. Tabbit adds parallel Agent tab groups, vertical tab workspaces, Skills shortcuts, and a wider model roster—so research and execution do not fight for the same tab bar.
Can Tabbit replace Browser Use or Firecrawl for research?
Browser Use and Firecrawl are frameworks for developers building agents. Tabbit is a consumer browser with built-in Agent Mode—better when you want outcomes (briefs, tables) without running Python infrastructure.
Does the Agent work while I keep reading?
Yes. Agent tasks run in separate tab groups so your literature or policy tabs stay put. You browse and cite with @ while the Agent gathers sources elsewhere.
Which AI models can power research tasks?
International Tabbit includes GPT-5.x, Claude Sonnet, and Gemini. Domestic Tabbit adds DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, GLM, Doubao, and LongCat—pick per task without leaving the browser.
Is Tabbit free for research use?
Tabbit is free to download during public beta on Windows and macOS, with no invite code required.
Can I import Chrome bookmarks and extensions?
Yes. One-click import brings history, passwords, cookies, and extensions from Chrome, Edge, or Safari so your research stack moves over intact.
