About Listen Tab
Listen Tab turns every new tab into a few podcast episodes worth your time. One click plays; the audio keeps going when you close the tab, and the toolbar button pauses and resumes it.
How it picks episodes
• Fresh episodes from hundreds of shows in your browser's language.
• Topics come from your bookmarks: titles and folder names are analyzed once to find what you care about (for example "Electric vehicles" or "Sourdough baking"), then only new bookmarks are checked. Bookmarked podcast studios and shows come first.
• What you play and skip stays on your device and quietly adjusts the mix; finished episodes never come back.
• One card is reserved for a neighbouring topic, so you discover something new.
Make it yours
• Pastel gradient backgrounds that follow light and dark mode, any color, or your own picture.
• Listening history with resume where you stopped.
• Four layouts, calm background sounds and one radio station a day picked for your topics.
• Minimal mode: keep Chrome's own new tab and open your picks from the toolbar button.
Privacy
• Bookmark titles, addresses and folder names are sent to the Listen Tab server and to DeepSeek (an AI service) to find your topics. Titles are not stored; addresses are kept only as one-way fingerprints, not linked to you, so the same bookmark is never analyzed twice.
• Listening sessions and usage events (what was shown and clicked, settings) are sent as pseudonymous statistics (no account, no link to your bookmarks).
• No ads, no account, no tracking scripts.
