About
Overview: This extension provides 19 desktop widgets, plus bookmarks manager, history manager, extensions manager, downloaded files manager and quick search function in your new tab page (so chrome will show you these permissions when you install it). The core idea of this extension is to help user quickly find web pages that you want to open. The home panel shows links, information and functions by different widgets. Of course, you can customize these widgets. Sometimes if you just want to see a wallpaper on new tab, there is a wallpaper mode that hide all elements on the page and only show the wallpaper and a toggle button. Version 8.0.0 (March 2023) Updates: • Remove weather widget. • Remove Chrome Apps related functions. • Upgrade to Chrome Manifest V3. 0. Quick Search You can use keyboard shortcuts to search for bookmarks, history, opened tabs and downloaded files, similar to Alfred. 1. Home Panel Home panel contains many versatile widgets(cards), like clock, calendar, recently closed tabs. You can add/remove widgets, drag and drop widget to a new position, change widget's title and color. Main widgets: • Most Visited: show default newtab most visited pages. • Bookmarks Bar: show Bookmarks. • Todo List: a simple but powerful todo(task) list. • Opened Tabs: a simple tabs manager, which shows all current opened tabs.

Bookmarks Manager Bookmarks are an important concept, because they are your own collections and what you need. This extension provides a more productive bookmarks manager.
