About this extension
A minimal, fast, and offline-first New Tab replacement for Chromium-based browsers and Firefox. Enjoy a clean and customizable bookmark dashboard with quick search, drag-and-drop organization, customizable grids and layouts, custom backgrounds, themes, and a settings panel.
Built with privacy in mind: your data stays in your browser by default, with an optional one-click backup to your own Google Drive.
Your bookmarks, settings, and customizations are stored locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your browser unless you choose to back up to your own Google Drive.

- Bookmark grid: add, edit, delete, and reorder sites with drag and drop.
- Bookmark search: live filtering across all bookmarks by name and hostname, with Arabic-aware normalization. Press
Ctrl+Fto open a command-palette-style modal; the main grid never changes. - Custom icons: favicons are fetched automatically, with optional per-site upload and a colored-letter fallback.
- Quick search: switch between about 50 search engines across 10 groups (General, AI, Google Tools, Developer, Reference, Quran and Islamic, Media, Social, Shopping). Typing a URL, IP address, or bare domain (e.g.
github.com) navigates directly. - Pagination: dot navigation, arrow buttons, mouse-wheel scrolling, and drag-to-edge paging (hold a dragged tile near the left or right edge to flip pages).
- Accent colors: 27 presets across warm, cool, and neutral families, plus a custom color picker. The whole UI re-themes instantly.
- Settings panel: display name, grid rows and columns, background image, gradient background, and accent color.
- Custom background: upload any image, with a smooth crossfade on change.
- Gradient backgrounds: 16 preset gradients with live preview, in a dedicated picker modal.
- Smart compression: icons (96x96 WebP) and backgrounds (1920x1080) are downscaled before saving.
- Local backup and restore: export or import your full setup (sites, settings, icons, background) as a
.jsonfile. - Optional cloud backup: one-click sync of your backup to your own Google Drive.
- Styled confirm dialogs: custom in-app modals for destructive actions.
- Dark UI: built with plain CSS, no frameworks.
Your bookmarks, settings, and customizations are stored locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your browser unless you choose to back up to your own Google Drive.
