User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's ability to customize the Brave browser new tab page with sleek themes and backgrounds, improving aesthetics. However, multiple reviews highlight missing features such as adding or customizing shortcuts and bookmark preview images. Users also complain about an unremovable large Brave logo, inability to block YouTube ads, and the extension defaulting to Google search instead of Brave Search. These issues lead to dissatisfaction among users seeking a more functional and true Brave experience.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Brave Browser - New Tab Theme requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
