WHY SWITCH?

The PC browser is overdue for an upgrade

Traditional browsers were built for reading pages. Modern PC users need a browser that actively helps them work.

Tab overload

Dozens of horizontal tabs hide titles, slow your machine, and make it hard to find what you need.

Repetitive tasks

Filling forms, copying data, and switching between apps eats hours every week.

Disconnected tools

AI chat, notes, and bookmarks live in separate apps instead of around your actual work.

WHY TABBIT WINS

Built for the way you actually use a PC

Tabbit combines the speed you expect from a modern browser with AI agents that can read, reason, and act across the web.

Agent Mode

Tell Tabbit what to do and watch it navigate pages, fill forms, extract data, and deliver results in a separate tab group.

Omnibox with @ context

Reference any open tab, screenshot, PDF, or file by typing @. No more copy-paste between apps.

Skills & automation

Save prompts as shortcuts and generate one-click scripts that clean pages, extract assets, or restyle websites.

Vertical tabs & workspaces

See full tab titles in a sidebar, auto-group by topic, and keep projects isolated in persistent workspaces.
