About Trace: AI & Tech News in Every New Tab
Trace turns every new tab into a clean feed of current AI and technology news.
Stories are gathered from trusted publications, grouped into one feed, and summarized so you can catch up without opening dozens of tabs. Filter by topic, open a card for the full Trace summary and key takeaways, or jump directly to the original reporting.
Features:
- A fresh selection on every new tab
- AI, engineering, markets, startups, technology, and design filters
- Five free summaries each day, with unlimited summaries on Trace Pro
- Google sign-in and shared Pro access across Trace web and the extension
- Signed-in bookmarks that sync with your Trace account
- A Saved filter for returning to stories later
- One-click sharing and direct original-source links
- A 15 minute local cache that prevents a request on every tab
- Cached articles during temporary network failures
- Responsive light and dark themes
Privacy:
Trace does not read browsing history, inspect open tabs, inject scripts into websites, or track activity on other pages. Local storage keeps the feed cache, reading progress, account connection, and saved stories. Trace website access is used only for the news feed, Google account connection, subscription access, and bookmark sync. Public article thumbnails load from their listed image hosts.
