FAQs

You've got questions? We've got answers.

Is bricktab free?

Yes. The extension is free to install and free to use, with no account and no paid tier. It is supported by clearly labelled sponsored cards and by affiliate links on some deals, which is explained in the Affiliate Disclosure.

Is bricktab affiliated with the LEGO Group?

No. bricktab is an independent fan project. LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group, which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse bricktab.

Which browsers does it work in?

Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Safari on the Mac. Other Chromium browsers such as Brave, Vivaldi and Opera can usually install it from the Chrome Web Store.

Where do the stories come from?

From the public feeds of established brick publications and fan sites. bricktab shows the headline, a short excerpt and the image, and every card links straight to the original article on the publisher's own site. You can suggest a source from Settings inside the extension.

What data does bricktab collect?

There is no account, so no name and no email. The extension creates a random anonymous ID on install, which is used to count your likes once and to measure which stories get read. You can reset that ID at any time from Settings. Bookmarks and preferences stay in your browser.

The full detail is in the Privacy Policy.

Why does it ask for permission on lego.com?

Only if you switch on one of the optional LEGO.com helpers: BrickLink prices, Insiders points value or the LEGO Ideas button. They are off by default, your browser asks you before anything is added, and you can turn each one off again from Settings.

Where do the deals come from?

They are picked by hand. Every card says whether it is a deal, a sponsored placement or simply our pick, and some links are affiliate links. See the Affiliate Disclosure for how that works.

Which languages are supported?

The extension is available in English, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Polish, Spanish, and both Brazilian and European Portuguese.

How do I get my old new tab back?

Remove or disable bricktab from your browser's extensions page and the new tab returns to what it was. Nothing else on your computer is changed.
