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

Nozi, 2025-02-13Excellent 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.

Nitin Jadhav, 2024-11-29Migrated 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!
