  Simple Home Page transforms your new tab into a clean, distraction-free workspace.
  
  **SMART NAVIGATION**
  Type a search query or enter a URL directly. Simple Home Page automatically detects websites (like "github.com") and takes you there without an extra search step.
  
  **QUICK ACCESS BOOKMARKS**
  Add your favorite sites with automatic title and favicon fetching, plus optional custom icon uploads. Organize them with drag controls, delete what you don't need, and resize to your preference (small, medium, or large). Bookmarks are stored locally.
  
  **SYNCED SETTINGS**
  Your search engine choice syncs across all Chrome browsers where you're signed in.
  
  **MINIMAL & FAST**
  No clutter. No distractions. Just a beautiful background, your search bar, and your bookmarks. Loads instantly every time you open a new tab.
  
  **PRIVACY FRIENDLY**
  We don't track you. The only permission we need is to fetch website info when you add bookmarks.

  **YOUR OWN BACKGROUND**
  Make the page yours. Set a custom background image by dragging and dropping a file or clicking to select one (horizontal images up to 5 MB work best). It's scaled to fill the screen, stored locally, and you can reset to the default anytime.
