Nuuzs
A new tab page made of feeds you actually picked
The Problem
Chrome's new tab page is a blank slate, or worse, a row of "top stories" picked by an algorithm whose job is keeping you scrolling. RSS readers exist, but they're a separate app you have to remember to open. So most people end up reading whatever a homepage hands them, chosen by someone whose interests aren't yours.
What We Built
We built Nuuzs, a Chrome extension that replaces the new tab page with a feed of sources you choose. Paste any site URL (a blog, a niche subreddit, Anthropic's news page, your local paper) and Nuuzs probes for a working feed and starts showing fresh stories on every tab. Organize sources into topics, switch with one click, dedupe across feeds, search instantly.
Everything stays on your device. No accounts. No proxy. No telemetry. Feeds are fetched browser-to-publisher directly. Your topics, your theme, your cache, all in localStorage. Stoodio doesn't see what you're reading, and doesn't want to.
We built it because we were tired of the new tab being someone else's homepage. Now it's ours.
