Long description (approx. 200 words)
NX1 verwandelt den neuen Browser-Tab in eine Startseite, die sich teilen und installieren lässt. Creator, Vereine, Communities und Marken veröffentlichen ihre eigene Startseite; Fans übernehmen sie mit einem Klick als neuen Tab — samt Kacheln, thematischer Suche, Nachrichten-Feed und Live-Widgets.
Statt eines statischen Dashboards liefert NX1 laufend Inhalte: mehr als 20 Widgets für Wetter, Sport, Finanzen, Gaming und Streaming lassen sich pro Startseite zuschalten, die Nachrichten kommen direkt aus den Quellen und Kanälen der jeweiligen Seite. Erfolge und Ranglisten machen aus der Startseite eine Community-Fläche statt einer Linkliste.
Die Einrichtung übernimmt NX1 selbst. Bestehende Lesezeichen lassen sich 1:1 übernehmen, ein optionaler Autopilot sortiert neue Lesezeichen automatisch in die passenden Startseiten ein, und aus einem einzigen Prompt erzeugt der KI-Generator eine komplette Themen-Startseite mit passenden Suchen und Widgets. Damit entfällt der Aufwand, an dem ein Wechsel der Startseite sonst scheitert.
NX1 läuft als Erweiterung für Chrome, Edge, Brave und Opera und als Web-App im Browser, auch am Handy. Der Geräte-Sync ist kostenlos und kommt ohne Konto aus. Die Oberfläche spricht 13 Sprachen. NX1 zeigt keine Werbung, verlangt bei der Installation nur die Speicher-Berechtigung und wird in Berlin entwickelt.
NX1 turns the browser new tab into a start page that can be shared and installed. Creators, clubs, communities and brands publish their own start page; fans adopt it as their new tab in one click — tiles, topic search, news feed and live widgets included.
Rather than a static dashboard, NX1 keeps the page fed: more than 20 widgets for weather, sport, finance, gaming and streaming can be switched on per start page, and the news comes straight from that page’s own sources and channels. Achievements and leaderboards make the start page a community surface instead of a link list.
Setting it up is NX1’s job, not the user’s. Existing bookmarks come across exactly as they are, an optional autopilot files new bookmarks into the matching start pages on its own, and a single prompt is enough for the AI generator to build a complete topic page with fitting searches and widgets. The switching cost that normally kills a new-tab change simply disappears.
NX1 runs as an extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera, and as a web app in any browser, phones included. Device sync is free and works without an account. The interface speaks 13 languages. NX1 shows no ads, asks only for the storage permission at install time, and is built in Berlin.

Story angles
Five framings the product suggests — offered, not required.
-
A German indie product between new-tab page and link-in-bio
NX1 joins two categories that so far sat side by side: the personalised new-tab page and a community’s shared link page. Where the format used to be a list of links, NX1 publishes a whole start page — search, news and live widgets included. Built and run by a single founder in Berlin.
-
The new tab as a content channel — for any community, not just developers
daily.dev proved the new tab is a strong content surface — for one audience. NX1 generalises the idea: a football club, an anime fandom, Minecraft, shopping or finance each get their own start page with their own sources, search and widgets. The editorial question: is the new tab about to become the next contested feed?
-
The start page as a creator surface
Fans install their favourite streamer’s start page and see their live status, videos and links — plus the community leaderboard — on every new tab. For creators it is a surface no algorithm allocates and that they design themselves. For coverage, a concrete example of the creator economy moving into the browser itself.
-
Ad-free, minimal permissions, 13 languages: an EU product in a US-dominated category
New-tab extensions have historically been a home for advertising and data models. NX1 shows no ads, asks only for the storage permission at install time, and analyses bookmarks and history locally on the device; only anonymised patterns ever reach the server. The service is operated by a Berlin company under the GDPR.
-
The new tab that sets itself up
The reason most people never change their start page is the work involved. NX1 takes existing bookmarks across as they are, keeps them filed with an optional autopilot, and builds a complete topic page — searches and widgets included — from a single prompt. Hours of arranging tiles collapse into one click.
Where NX1 sits
NX1 touches two categories that already exist. Personalised new-tab extensions such as Momentum or Infinity New Tab treat the new tab as one person’s private dashboard. Link-in-bio services such as Linktree gather a creator’s links on a single shared profile page. NX1 joins the two: a start page is personal and adjustable, yet it can also be shared and installed — and it keeps carrying live content instead of a static list of links.
