Re-newtab
- Extension status: Featured
- Live on Store
A redesigned, productive and pragmatic new tab alternative.
Overview: This extension provides 19 desktop widgets, plus bookmarks manager, history manager, extensions manager, downloaded files manager and quick search function in your new tab page (so chrome will show you these permissions when you install it).
The core idea of this extension is to help user quickly find web pages that you want to open. The home panel shows links, information and functions by different widgets. Of course, you can customize these widgets. Sometimes if you just want to see a wallpaper on new tab, there is a wallpaper mode that hide all elements on the page and only show the wallpaper and a toggle button.
Version 8.0.0 (March 2023) Updates:
• Remove weather widget.
• Remove Chrome Apps related functions.
• Upgrade to Chrome Manifest V3.
0. Quick Search
You can use keyboard shortcuts to search for bookmarks, history, opened tabs and downloaded files, similar to Alfred.
1. Home Panel
Home panel contains many versatile widgets(cards), like clock, calendar, recently closed tabs. You can add/remove widgets, drag and drop widget to a new position, change widget's title and color.
Main widgets:
• Most Visited: show default newtab most visited pages.
• Bookmarks Bar: show Bookmarks.
• Todo List: a simple but powerful todo(task) list.
• Opened Tabs: a simple tabs manager, which shows all current opened tabs. You can jump to or close a tab by click, and more functions in context menu.
• Recently Closed: recently closed tabs.
• Analog clock and digital clock: highly customizable clocks.
• Calendar: A month view calendar.
• Calculator: A super calculator powered by math.js.
• Google Drive widget: quick access recent, starred, shared drive files or search files.
• Google Calendar widget: list your Google Calendar events.
• Translate: a Google Translate widget.
• Notepad: a simple notepad.
• Search Engine: search via your browser's default search provider.
• YouTube Subscriptions: list video updates for all your subscriptions.
• Google Sites: top google services.
• Office: ms office web apps.
• Chrome Misc: chrome internal pages.
2. Bookmarks Manager
Bookmarks are an important concept, because they are your own collections and what you need. This extension provides a more productive bookmarks manager.
Similar to Mac Finder in columns view, you can manage and navigate bookmarks by mouse or keyboard shortcuts, for example:
• Navigate all bookmarks using mouse or arrow keys.
• Open a bookmark by double click or enter key.
• Open all bookmarks in a folder by context menu.
• Drag and Drop a bookmark to a new location.
• Create, edit or delete bookmark or folder by context menu.
• Select multi bookmarks to move, delete or open.
• Copy/cut/paste bookmarks(except folders) by shortcuts.
• Sort bookmarks by name
• Support many keyboard shortcuts.
3. History Manager
Search or clear browsing history by date range.
4. Downloads Manager
Show your downloaded files. You can open downloaded files or open their folders, and clear download history.
5. Devices
Show synced open tabs on other devices.
6. Extensions Manager
Manage all extensions and apps. You can enable/disable/remove the extensions and open their options.
7. Settings
• User login, logout.
• Theme settings: Pure colors or Wallpapers or Custom photo.

Great, but I'm concerned about privacy. I didn't authorize Google Drive for this purpose.
This and onetab are the two best extensions I have ever found. Both are completely free.
Love it
Awesome! Brilliant! All you need!
new tab page with every widget you need. I just dont liked some things, the very visible history icon, where you can click and see the recent visits. could have more personalizing options for the navbar (hide the history icon, devices and downloads)
Awesome! Everything in a straight forward UI. Afew more options would be great

Dang. I have loved this extension for years! But as of last week, this extension no longer works. Hopefully it gets updated soon - at which point, I will change my rating back to 5 stars =D

Good, but please make a weather widget and a widget for custom links :)
Best productivity tool so far. No fancy ui or useless motivation stuff. Just great.

The idea is good but the execution can be better. There is no Google Weather widget, for example. This extension also lacks the functionality to add sites of your choice (instead, you have to bookmark them and go through the bookmarks' widget). It would also be great to have a bit of themeng options rather than the white (there is no dark theme!) and blue. The design is late 1990s early 2000s and pre-material design by Google! With a bit of extra effort, this can be a truly great extension.

很实用。就是那个谷歌翻译用不了。希望增加单独设置代理的功能，这样就可以用翻译的功能了。
✅No muy ligera de peso (1.5MBs), sin embargo, si es muy ligera en rendimiento (57.000KBs) para este tipo de extensiones. ✅Extensión muy bien pensada : no vas a encontrar algo inútil o excedente dentro. Tiene el equilibrio perfecto entre cantidad de opciones, usabilidad y optimización. ✅Todo en uno - Puedes ahorrar en extensiones como : bookmarks manager, extensions manager, notepad, que acaban consumiendo mucho más que re-newtab en espacio y en consumo. ✅La barra de control izquierda es realmente útil, es completa y compacta. No necesitas ir a una pestaña distinta. todo puedes hacerlo con ella. ✅fondo personalizable ✅casi todos los widgets son ajenos a los servicios privativos como google, en su mayoria son locales. ✅Igualmente puedes usar algunos servicios privados como : Google Calendar, GDrive, GSites, Google Translate, YouTube Subscriptions y Weather (dark sky) [SUGGESTIONS] 👀chart/table/board visual mode option for extension panel (like history panel) 👀Modulable width on all charts (on "possible" chart visual mode) (history and download panels) 👀On "extensions" section, add ability to "sort by update date". ❗👀Expandable (notepad) widget margins on Home section. 👀Complete dark theme (not only background) (like standalone bookmark manager extension) ❗👀Add more complex notepad like a extension called"Notepad" with tabs section (with editable titles) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/notepad/ffbhefmlcoihbjcmibbfkocmnaiacinp 👀 Option export notes to a local folder. (issues with missing notes) I'm always using this extension, thank you and Congrats for the project.
had promise, but I can't stand all the widgets having a white background…

Words can't describe how useful and flexible this little extension is. This is easily the best new-tab ext that I have come across.

不错, 但是希望可以自定义左侧的侧边栏.
我用的是BRAVE浏览器，虽说能安装上此扩展，但如涉及google类的组件就不能使用。建议完善。谢谢！

This extension has just about everything for my browsing needs. One thing it does not have is a setting to open links in a new tab or window by default. Of course, I can always do this by right-clicking on the link.

Only PC Manager You'll Ever Need. - powerful simple and easy to learn. - has about a dozen widgets covering everything from bookmarks, to temperature, to clock, to calendar, to notes, to do list, to history, and so much more. - fully customizable so you can just use one widget or you can use a dozen . I wish they had this extension for Apple and Windows . try it... You'll like it.
