## Description

Humble New Tab Page is a Chrome extension that transforms your browser's new tab into a personalized dashboard. It offers a simple and clean design focused on usability and aesthetics. Users can customize features such as bookmarks, most visited sites, recently closed tabs, and real-time weather, all arranged in a custom layout.

The extension is lightweight and fast-loading, ensuring a smooth browsing experience. Its key strength lies in its high degree of customization: drag and drop folders to create new columns or reorder content; adjust font, colors, spacing, and other design elements through the options menu. Please note, some known limitations include settings not syncing across Multi-Account Containers and restrictions on opening certain URLs like file:/// and about: pages.
