Karsten Johansson (ID: 0000003bceb286e7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/18/2023 This is one of the best uses of a new tab that there is. I have it installed on all my system's browsers. There are things I do every day, and for those, special links on Markdown New Tab is so much more efficient than hunting through bookmarks. If you think you might need this, you totally do.

Ida Einjaw (ID: 0000001a78ca1ce8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/16/2021 Whatever you type syncs across devices instantly. Few other new tab note taking apps I tried can't do that. Design is also very minimalist. The animation also therapeutic to type with..
