Dale Henning (ID: 0000009b7bcdb208) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/08/2019 Installed Minimalist New Tab Page and it's very nice! Clean, simple design that does not get in my way. I was able to easily add extra bookmarks and indent them how I liked it. Comes with a clear little legend on how to create and organize your own bookmarks. Well done!
