Most people’s new tabs in Chrome and Edge should only be used to search for keywords or open new web pages. If you are like this and are used to taking notes occasionally, you might as well try the free extension of TabNote to turn the new tab into notes. This means that when you want to record anything in the future, you only need to open the browser tab. It is simple and convenient, and it also supports backup download function. It can be installed on Chrome and Edge.

Notes will be saved in txt format:
It is a pity that it does not provide any text editing functions, such as modifying colors, font sizes, hyperlinks, etc. If it were available, it would be more flexible in use. I hope it will be added in the future.
