An alternative to the default new tab in Brave Browser.
Brave Browser - New Tab Theme Extension
This extension can be installed in Chrome, Brave, or any other Chromium-based browser.
One downside of Brave is that it does not offer as many built-in customization features for the new tab as we would hope for.
With this extension, you can easily change the background, add shortcuts, and do much more with your new tab, while still incorporating Brave-oriented features.
Please note that is extension is based off of an extension called Infinite Dashboard:

This extension and its developers are not affiliated with Infinite Dashboard in any way.
