Adds an awesome capability to the browser! The extension does not make it very clear exactly how to add in working Javascript for non-plugin-devs but after working with it for some time I was able to get my javascript to fire properly, so it does work with some time and dedication.

Absolutely amazing idea for an extension! I have been wanting a super minimalist new tab page, with the ability to easily edit the Page Title for some time now. This SHOULD get me there, except when I go to create the page I am getting an ERROR message that seems to indicate I cannot run Javascript on this new tab page. Is this a Firefox new limitation?

It's effective, but not with the given keyboard shortcut. I rarely remember the key chord that does work. More often, I accidentally use a chord that opens a new window (not a new tab) with about:newtab content. If it helps to understand the problem: amongst my other extensions there is Speed Dial, https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/speed-dial/ Waterfox 56.2.0 on FreeBSD-CURRENT, $ pkg info waterfox | grep Version Version : 56.2.0.31_5 $ date ; uname -v Sun 10 Jun 2018 14:06:00 BST FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #3 r334382: Thu May 31 01:37:12 BST 2018 root@momh167-gjp4-hpelitebook8570p-freebsd:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC

Is Alt New Tab Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Alt New Tab requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Alt New Tab has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
