Bonjourr · Minimalist and lightweight startpage by Victor Azevedo, Tahoe
Review by Varniit
Rated 5 out of 5
by Varniit, 9 months agoIf you want to beautify or is bored by the default new tab of Firefox, Chrome, and Edge (yes, check on Chrome and Edge addon store) then Bonjourr new tab addon is there. I am using it for last 5 years when I discovered this via Reddit. And since then it is new only addon apart from Ublock Origin or Adguard or Ghostery that is used constantly or re-installed. A lot of customizations and gives you a feel of premium homepage and you can change your default search engine, not limited or bonded by what browsers forces us to use.
But as said before and mailed to Devs (I don't know if they have read it or even considered it not) about some additions to existing features like -
- Missing AM/PM for time widget. No option to get it enabled.
- Changing of widgets' positions is still messy. Need simplification like tableus are done.
- Search suggestions from whichever search engine you use doesnt show any. Need working on it.
- Add more independent search engines like Brave Search, Kagi, Startpage, Mojeek.
- Currently there are 2 ways to change background wallpaper i.e., Unsplash and Local. I hope topics, colors, genre, feel and Pexels are brought in.
- Backup thing is difficult. An export file that is saved locally or cloud backup with Google Drive or OneDrive or PCloud would be a good way to backup in anything happens to device or customizations done.
I don't know it is me or something else but what customizations are here for Chrome and Chromium browser users, are not exactly same for Firefox or Gecko-based browser users. Please clarify on this.
5 stars but resolving these is necessary to sustain those 5 stars.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19076864, 6 days agoI needed a tool to eliminate the distracting news feeds and ads when I open a new tab. This is exactly what I need and it's beautiful to boot. Now I can open new tabs without going down the latest rabbit hole of junk news. I've been using this for about a year now. I can't imagine getting work done without it.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Bob, 7 days agoI'm really enjoying it. Some slight issues with positioning the sections via the UI. Also the weather widget gives the wrong data for my city, which means I can't use it. But I was really just looking for a nicer startpage for my bookmarks and that's where it works really well for me. So, kudos!
