Tabnest — Personal New Tab Dashboard

About

Tabnest turns every new tab into a customizable personal dashboard.

Instead of opening a blank new tab, Tabnest gives you a clean workspace with quick links, bookmarks, notes, to-dos, weather, RSS feeds, search, calendar, quotes, and other useful widgets. You can organize widgets into pages and columns, drag them into your preferred layout, and personalize the look with themes, accent colors, and backgrounds.

Tabnest is designed for users who want a more useful and organized new tab page without creating an account.

Search Options:

Tabnest includes a built-in search bar for the new tab page. You can choose from supported search engines. Search queries are sent only to the selected search engine when you perform a search.

Privacy Friendly:

Tabnest stores dashboard settings, widgets, notes, to-dos, custom links, and layout preferences locally in your browser using Chrome storage.

Based on the current extension files, Tabnest does not use analytics scripts, does not create a user account, and does not send your dashboard data to the developer’s server.

Some widgets may connect to external services only when you choose to use them. For example, the Weather widget uses Open-Meteo, RSS widgets load the feed URL you add, favicons may load from Google’s favicon service, and search queries are sent to the search engine you select.


Disclaimer:

Tabnest is an independent new tab dashboard extension and is not affiliated with Google, Chrome, Open-Meteo, or any listed search engine.
