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.

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

5. Devices
Show synced open tabs on other devices.

不错, 但是希望可以自定义左侧的侧边栏.

✅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

I'm always using this extension, thank you and Congrats for the project.

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!
