## Description

Glisters is a minimal, highly configurable new tab page. Replace the default tab with your own shortcut grid, a bookmarks sidebar that edits your real browser bookmarks, optional wallpapers, and per-user cloud sync — no trackers, no ads, no bloat.                                                                                   

Shortcut grid:                                                                                                                                                         
   - Add tiles with auto-detected titles and icons.                                                                                                                       
   - Drag to reorder with smooth flip animations; paginate through multiple pages.                                                                                        
   - Open with Enter, new tab with Ctrl+Enter.                                                                                                                            
   - Command bar (/) for quick search, URL entry, or pasted image reverse search.                                                                                           

Bookmarks sidebar:                                                                                                                                                     
   - Press b to open a full keyboard-driven editor for your browser's real bookmarks bar.                                                                                 
   - Add, edit, delete, move, and drag-and-drop folders — every change writes straight to the browser.                                                                      

Wallpapers:                                                                                                                                                            
   - Wallhaven-backed wallpaper pool with favourites, blur and monochrome options, and offline fallbacks.                                                                   

Sync (optional):                                                                                                                                                       
   - Sign in with email and password to mirror your grid, settings, and favourites to the cloud — across devices and browsers.                                            
   - Fully functional offline and local-only without signing in.                                                                                                            

Configurable:                                                                                                                                                          
   - Tile size, grid columns and rows, gaps, labels, colours, wallpaper blur, monochrome, sidebar widths — everything adjustable from the settings drawer.                  

Privacy:
