francois dubois (ID: 0000002e30cbf0cc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/16/2023 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.

icon

K F (ID: 0000007c66094d12) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/20/2023 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.

icon

Carmelo Rigatuso (ID: 000000a114e6578a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/11/2023 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.

Sara Tong (ID: 000000b79f8fc05b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/15/2023 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.

Lukáš Uher (ID: 0000007c7e9b24fa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/26/2023 The best New tab Page ever! Lightweight, minimalist, but with ability to show almost everything I want and huge flexibility of customization.
