Wanderlust New Tab

A new destination every time you open a tab

Swap the blank new tab for a full-screen photo of somewhere worth going — where it is, how far it is from you, and an AI you can ask about it. When a place sticks, plan the trip in Wanderlust.

Wanderlust New Tab: a full-screen mountain-lake destination photo in a new browser tab
What's in every tab

A daily nudge toward your next trip

You open dozens of tabs a day. Each one can show you somewhere new — and give you a reason to go.

Somewhere worth going, full screen

Every new tab opens on a destination photo with the city and country, the photographer's credit, and how far it is from you — distance and rough flight time.

Ask about it on the spot

Curious? Open the chat and ask the AI about the place on screen — when to go, what to see, how long to stay.

The best places around you

Around Me picks a handful of standouts near you — date night, great coffee, hikes, hidden gems — each one linked to Maps. No sign-in needed.

Free, and it stays useful

Everything you need is free. The extras are optional.

No account needed to start, no ads, and nothing to configure.

Three steps, one of them optional

Install it once. Every tab after that starts somewhere new.

  1. STEP 01

    Add it to your browser

    Chrome, Firefox or Edge. It replaces your new tab page and nothing else.

  2. STEP 02

    Open a new tab

    A destination is there straight away. Refresh for another, or open the chat to ask about it.

  3. STEP 03

    Sign in when you want more

    Set your home city so distances start from you. On Pro, Publisher or the video add-on, the extras switch on by themselves.

Private by design

It replaces your new tab page. That's all it can touch.

No browsing permissions

It asks for none, so it can't read, clip or track the sites you visit.

No location permission

Around Me and distances use the home city you set, or a rough guess from your connection.

No ads

Just the photo, the place and its photographer's credit.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Wanderlust extension do?

It replaces your browser's new tab page with a full-screen photo of a destination, where it is and how far it is from you. From there you can load another, ask the AI about the place, or open Around Me for standout spots nearby.

Which browsers support the Wanderlust extension?

Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

Can it save pages, articles or bookmarks?

No. It asks for no browsing permissions, so it can't read, clip or save the sites you visit — it only replaces the new tab page. To save a place, paste its link into your Wanderlust bucketlist.

Can I track my travels using the browser extension?

Yes, as one of the extension extras. The passport globe — the same stamps as your Wanderlust account — comes with Pro, Publisher or the video add-on, along with region filters and video backgrounds. Tracking countries on the Wanderlust website is free.

Is the browser extension free?

Yes. Destination photos, the AI chat and Around Me are free, and you don't need an account to start. The extras — video backgrounds, region filters and the passport — come with Pro, Publisher or the video add-on.

How do I install the Wanderlust browser extension?

Click the button for your browser at the top of this page, add it from the store, and open a new tab.
