Every time i open up a tab on a new day, all my tabs are gone. Newt doesn't show. I am so disappointed

Excellent start page, very minimalistic, no BS approach - loving it so far. Option for editing target links would be great. Also, option for hiding sidebar would be useful.

Migrated to this extension from ruzzian Speed Dial FVD tracking me. This extension is much better - no heavy pictures, no unnecessary settings / backups, just plain functionality AND using existing bookmarks folder. Great extension!
