Summary
Tabby is a new tab extension which provides a simple and beautiful UI for customizable links to your favorite sites. All icons locally in local storage (so use smallish ones) to cut down on network requests for every new tab. The backgrounds are pulled from Unsplash so you'll need an free Unsplash API key which you'll be prompted for when you first open a new tab after installing. Backgrounds URLs are cached for an hour to avoid excess API usage but you can manually refresh it when ever you'd like from the menu. Your link lists can also be exported or imported through the menu.
