What is Brave Browser - New Tab Theme?

The extension provides features for personalizing a new tab's background and adding shortcuts. While offering enhanced customization, it integrates Brave-oriented features.

This extension can be installed in Chrome, Brave, or any other Chromium-based browser.

One downside of Brave is that it does not offer as many built-in customization features for the new tab as we would hope for.

With this extension, you can easily change the background, add shortcuts, and do much more with your new tab, while still incorporating Brave-oriented features.

Please note that is extension is based off of an extension called Infinite Dashboard: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/infinite-dashboard-new-ta/meffljleomgifbbcffejnmhjagncfpbd

This extension and its developers are not affiliated with Infinite Dashboard in any way.

Its simple. . . And allows for more abilities such as having a hotlink to sites like normal chrome does. . . however you can easily change from chrome to duckduckgo or any other search engine, overall it is nice and keeps you from seeing irritating adds. Also it doesn't save your usage, meaning that if you do other things that you want under the radar it wont save unless you go and purposefully choose to save your previous session and all that does is remember the tabs open at the moment you save.

so when i set the search bar to dark, the text i type in it is difficult to see, can you make it so the text, while dark search bar is active, to be white so i can see what im typing

When I saw this ad on Youtube I thought this would be a cool app to get. It was just for bribery. It didn't even work. Youtube said that my account was at risk of getting attacked. When I opened in Brave, it did not change. Everything was really small and is very low quality. There were no themes to it. The formating is very ugly. When I tried to delete it, it was like it was stuck to me forever. Even when I clicked on a link, it would pop up at brave. It wasted my time. Also, the "ads blocked" and "trackers blocked are all fake, and I know because I somehow still managed to get ads. Terrible app and would not recommend.
