Latest reviews
- (2023-10-16) francois dubois: This looks amazing. It's so versatile and also lets the user toggle options according to their desire / preference. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to set the new tab to display a local html file.
- (2023-09-20) K F: This is a great app, however recently have had a problem. Using Microsoft Edge and recently the "deleted favorites" folder keeps getting checked as visible. I uncheck it and it reappears as checked a short time later.
- (2023-09-11) Carmelo Rigatuso: Awesome work. Very simple and easy to use. Really helped me visualize and clean-up all my bookmarks. I'd love to be able to change the background colour or font size/colour for the folder names. This will make it easier to use them as column/section headers.
- (2023-08-15) Sara Tong: Been using it for years and just can't live with it (esp how it enables me to see tabs opened on other devices). Would be great if weather & rss capabilities can be considered in upcoming updates.
- (2023-07-26) Lukáš Uher: The best New tab Page ever! Lightweight, minimalist, but with ability to show almost everything I want and huge flexibility of customization.
- (2023-05-10) Luis Lage: Awesome, but can we have dark mode?
- (2023-05-02) Don Arsenault: Humble New Tab Page is perfect. All my bookmarks displayed so FAST and conveniently, plus a few extras like Recent Bookmarks and Recently Closed tabs. Just need to scroll to get to any bookmark. I love how I can move a folder of bookmarks to a separate column! Combine with Holmes for searching bookmarks in the Omnibox on the new tag page. The stock Chrome New Tab page had been annoying me for a long time; it's slow search box starts with a white background then corrects to the black background. Went searching for something better.
- (2023-04-28) Hammad Farooq: Thanks soo much for developing this!!! It is super fast to load and has all the features I need.
- (2023-04-04) Pavel Klinecký: Simple, fully functional, aesthetically pleasing, allows you to see all your bookmarks or folders on one desktop. Excellent work!
- (2023-03-31) d.rw1nig324 (Darwin): Hello, I want the chrome extension back because it's now updated to 105 or more for chrome version which I cannot update it because of It's expired which I'm using an Chromebook which is dead. I have to get a new device but the extension is still good but I miss it so much because I hate when you can no longer use it because you have to update it. Is there an github with all the versions?
- (2023-03-17) 拿巴巴(Mac): The default favicon of the latest version has turned white, can it be fixed?
- (2023-02-12) Max M: Fantastic, everything I would want from a new tab page with all of the horrible bloat on Edge's default new tab page. Bonus points for the extremely easy colour customization - it would be almost expected for this not to be included, but the fact that I can easily match it to the theme colour of my browser makes it feel even more professionally-made than Microsoft's own.
- (2023-02-06) Laìcurè Levìarè: I just can't use Chromium browsers without this!
- (2023-01-21) Joao Granja: The best. Very Simple and effective, everything I need. Many Thanks.
- (2022-12-21) Mitchell McClure: Still Loving IT!!!! Screenshot: https://statusportal.net/images/NewTab.png
- (2022-12-09) Vraja D: Recent issue maybe to do with new Chrome update on linux, only loading maybe half the links at first, then with a little moving up and down the page the rest show up.
- (2022-12-04) Changwen Zhou: great! but when i click the link in "recent close tab", the link open in a new window of chrome rather than in current tab or new tab of current window.
- (2022-11-14) Ben Shirley: I love this app and have been using it forever. I've never found anything better, simple, and so useful. The ability to show lots of links in lists organized by bookmark, other device, recent, is just so genius.
- (2022-10-13) Aaron (Leafy): It's a great, versatile, and fairly functional extension once you warmup to it. I highly recommend giving it a go for a week or two to see if the 'basic aesthetics' of it work for you.
- (2022-09-21) Greg Mawson: Simple, lightweight, works as advertised. Been using this for years.
- (2022-09-11) ҈: Не хватает строки поиска по закладкам.
- (2022-09-08) Kate Lee Dalilis: Great for work. Simple. Easy. Organize. Better than Quick Dial extension out there.
- (2022-08-21) Cristian Viorel Pirnea: It's awesome!
- (2022-08-16) Bryan Field: Finally a way to hide Google Doodle but keep the bookmark bar; well at least the next best thing to a bookmark bar
- (2022-07-16) Lucien Hong: perfect, clean and effective.
- (2022-06-09) Winter Silence: The extension is perfect but id does something that in Vivaldi browser it breaks urls vivaldi://bookmarks and vivaldi://history. Those pages simply cease to work while this extension is enabled :(
- (2022-05-10) Rida Kangolex: Great! thanx for the extension.
- (2022-04-29) Treya: Minimalist with low footprint and highly customizable, showing everything I need on a regular basis. Had this installed for years and would keep using it but it has slowly but steady been loosing entries in the 'Apps' folder. All the Apps are still there and accessible through the native 'Show apps' button and un- then reinstalling didn't fix it. Last update was in 2019 so I guess I'll have to move on.
- (2022-03-30) Dorian: Have been using this for so long I just take it as the default browser experience. Only when I see the horrible default new tab of Chrome do I realize how good this extension is.
- (2022-03-10) Martin Brown: A great new tab page. Never had a problem with it.
- (2022-02-09) Jerry Chen: A simple new tab.
- (2022-02-08) Krister Eklund: This extension is exactly what I searched for.
- (2022-01-19) Shel Stone: Very elegant extension Very beautiful and simple for use. thank you so much
- (2021-10-27) Divyansh Pandit: Simple and non intrusive, just like I wanted Thanks! P.S. by any chance can you provide the option for changing the favicon on the new tab page; your white logo is not helping
- (2021-08-29) Wing Ching Fan: You are amazing. This is so beautifully crafted. Thank you so much for helping us peasants with your skills and expertise.
- (2021-07-27) Prabhjot Singh: Please add a clock to make it much more useful
- (2021-07-11) Scott Zhang: Clean, fast and poweful. Cannot love it more!
- (2021-06-07) Maor Conforti: Excellent extension. I've been using it for two years now. Can't live without it. Highly recommended. Hard to believe that this useful functionality is not the standard behavior for new tabs in all browsers.
- (2021-05-31) Hyunjong Park: This should be the default tab page of chrome, not an extension. A must for chrome users.
- (2021-05-26) Anshuman Panda: Is there a dark mode? I keep it enabled all the time. If not I will have to look into some alternative. Thanks. Edit: Nevermind. Got it. Happy with the extension.
- (2021-05-26) Johny Black: Одно из лучших расширений для браузера. Для меня однозначный must have! Всем рекомендую!
- (2021-05-14) ShadowShok: E' quasi quello che cercavo. Sfortunatamente chrome non ha la stessa pagina iniziale di firefox e mi serviva una soluzione che non fosse piena di tracciamento o cose inutili e questa sembra l'estenzione perfetta.
- (2021-05-12) Mesut Yılmaz: Verry cool and productive extension. It's a must to have. Simple & Efficient.
- (2021-03-28) joydn: Great extension, 5 stars without question. Would be great if you consider adding chrome new 'read later' list feature support
- (2021-03-05) Юр.отдел: За всю историю Хрома ничего лучше еще не придумали. Все гениальное просто.
- (2021-03-04) Matthew H: This extension is amazing!! Everything you need (even things you didn't know you needed) and no BS. It gives instant access to any bookmarks folder, most visited sites, recently bookmarked sites, and recently closed tabs.
- (2021-01-30) Shailesh Sundram: I have been using this extension for a very long time. There has been no crash as of yet and it works as it is intended to. There are myriads of options from changing font to using custom CSS. The best feature in my opinion is to change the background image to an image of one's choice. Overall, a great extension.
- (2021-01-28) Lahiru Madushan: good
- (2020-12-03) Adham Zahran: I just wanted a black page. Did the job. Thanks.
- (2020-11-24) Philippe Dev: Excellente extension, très simple et fonctionnelle, tout à fait ce dont j'avais besoin pour afficher mes bookmarks dans la page d'accueil.
