# 360 Browser Extension: Replace Your New Tab with 360

> The 360 Search browser extension replaces your new tab page with the full 360 Search experience — search, weather, news, and tools on every new tab.

The 360 browser extension overrides your browser's new tab page so that every new tab you open brings up 360 Search instantly. You get immediate access to private search, built-in tools, live weather, news, and all your 360 widgets — right from the moment you open a tab, without navigating anywhere.

## Supported Browsers

The extension is built on **Manifest V3** and works with Chrome and all Chromium-based browsers:

  <Card title="Google Chrome" icon="chrome" />

  <Card title="Microsoft Edge" icon="edge" />

  <Card title="Brave" icon="shield" />

  <Card title="Opera" icon="o" />
</CardGroup>

## What the Extension Does

* **Replaces your new tab page** with the full 360 Search interface
* **Saves your theme and settings locally** — your preferences persist across sessions without sending data to a server
* **Gives you access to all 360 tools** from every new tab: search, AI, weather, news, stocks, translator, URL shortener, games, and more

## How to Install

<Steps>
  <Step title="Download the extension package">
    Go to [https://github.com/360-By-360Digital/360/releases](https://github.com/360-By-360Digital/360/releases) and download the extension package from the latest release. Extract the downloaded archive to a folder on your machine.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open your browser's Extensions page">
    In your browser's address bar, navigate to `chrome://extensions` (or the equivalent extensions page for your browser, such as `edge://extensions` for Edge).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable Developer Mode">
    Toggle **Developer Mode** on — you'll find the switch in the top-right corner of the Extensions page. This allows you to load extensions that aren't from the Chrome Web Store.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Load the extension folder">
    Click **Load unpacked**, then select the folder you extracted in Step 1. Your browser will load the extension immediately.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a new tab">
    Open any new tab — 360 Search is now your homepage. Every new tab from this point forward will open 360 Search.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  A packaged Chrome Web Store version is planned for a future release. For now, use the manual **Load unpacked** method described above.
</Note>

<Tip>
  After installing, open a new tab and click **Settings** inside 360 Search to choose your color theme, toggle dark mode, and personalize your experience.
