Install TabSlate
Get TabSlate from an official browser store, or build and load it from source.
From an official browser store
TabSlate is published on three official extension stores:
- Chrome Web Store: Install TabSlate for Chrome
- Microsoft Edge Add-ons: Install TabSlate for Edge
- Firefox Add-ons: Install TabSlate for Firefox (Firefox 142 or later)
Install from whichever store matches your browser, then open a new tab. TabSlate replaces your browser's default new-tab page, so the workspace opens automatically — there is nothing else to launch.
No Safari version
TabSlate does not currently publish a Safari extension. Use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox instead.
Build from source
TabSlate is open source. To build and load it yourself:
git clone https://github.com/TabSlate-dev/TabSlate.git
cd TabSlate
bun install
bun run buildThen open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, choose Load unpacked, and select the .output/chrome-mv3 folder the build created. Microsoft Edge uses the same Chromium extension format, so the same unpacked folder also loads from edge://extensions.
TabSlate's build scripts also include a Firefox target (bun run build:firefox); check the project's own README for the most current steps to load a Firefox build, since its output layout is not covered here.
Requires Bun
Building from source uses Bun, not npm or yarn — the project's scripts assume the bun command is available.
Next step
Continue to Quick Start to set up your first workspace.
