Neobrowser: The Next Generation of AI Browsers
"Neobrowser" is the word behind a new wave of AI-native browsers — and the brand behind neobrowser.ai (Norton Neo). A neobrowser reads pages, answers with AI, and completes tasks for you. Tabbit is the free neobrowser that actually gets the work done.
What a neobrowser should do
Understand your page
The tab you are reading becomes AI context — no copy-paste
Answer with AI
Search, chat, and summarize right in the browser
Execute tasks
Fill forms, run workflows, and finish jobs across sites
Stay private
Visible agent steps, your model, your data boundaries

What is a neobrowser?
The word "neobrowser" has two meanings in 2026: it is the official brand of Norton Neo at neobrowser.ai, and it is the growing category name for next-generation AI-native browsers. Both point to the same idea — a browser rebuilt around AI instead of bolting AI on top.
The category: AI-native browser
A neobrowser is a browser where AI is the core interaction layer: it understands the page you are on, answers questions, and can act on your behalf.
From tabs to tasks
Traditional browsers manage windows and tabs. Neobrowsers manage intent — they turn a request into a research report, a filled form, or a finished workflow.
From plugins to built-in
Old AI assistants need extensions and copy-paste. A neobrowser has AI, context, and automation built into the address bar itself.

How a neobrowser changes the way you browse
Once you move from a classic browser to a neobrowser, the difference is not a feature list — it is who does the work. The browser stops being a passive window and becomes an active operator.
Search becomes execution
A classic browser shows blue links. A neobrowser can read those links, extract the answer, and then complete the follow-up task for you.
Context stops being copied
Instead of pasting URLs and text into ChatGPT, a neobrowser lets you reference the live tab, the tab group, a screenshot, or a local file with an @ mention.
Extensions become skills
Neobrowsers replace fragile extension stacks with reusable prompts and scripts — called Skills in Tabbit — that you can run with a single command.
Browsing becomes parallel
An agent runs in its own isolated tab group while you keep working. You supervise the result instead of doing every click.

01
Agent Mode executes, not just answers

The page you see is the context
Reference the current tab, a tab group, a screenshot, or a local file with an @ mention. No more copying and pasting between the browser and a chat window.
03
Free access to top models
GPT, Claude, Gemini and more are available in Tabbit. Choose the model you trust for each task — your data follows your decision, not a default vendor.
