## Description

TabLaunch puts your most-used links front-and-center every time you open a new tab. Designed for speed and simplicity, it organizes bookmarks into customizable categories so you can quickly find and launch sites without digging through menus.

<strong>Highlights</strong>
 - Visual builder and JSON editor: Create and edit categories and links with a drag-friendly builder, or paste/import a JSON configuration for power users and backups.
 - Live preview: See changes instantly in a preview modal before saving.
 - Icon and color customization: Pick Material Symbols icons for categories and individual links and apply per-category accent colors to make sections easy to scan.
 - Reorder easily: Move categories and links up or down to prioritize what matters most.
 - Import/export: Copy your full configuration as JSON for sharing or backup.
 - Lightweight and fast: Minimal UI and local storage keep the extension responsive.

<strong>Privacy &amp; storage</strong>
Your links and configuration are stored locally in the browser (extension storage/local files). TabLaunch does not upload your link data to external servers. The settings UI may load icons/fonts from public CDNs for visual rendering, but your saved links remain in your browser.

<strong>Getting started</strong>
Open the settings page to build categories and links or paste a JSON configuration.
Use the preview to confirm layout and appearance.
Save to persist your configuration; export JSON to backup or transfer to another installation.
