User reviews

New Tab Notes is praised for its ease of use, seamless syncing across devices, and well-designed interface that makes note-taking quick and accessible in new tabs. Users appreciate shortcuts and export options to markdown and HTML. However, some find the Chrome default shortcut Ctrl+S inconvenient as it opens a save dialog, and markdown functionality lacks smoothness. There is also desire for enhanced formatting features like better margin control and checklists.

Pros

Easy and quick note taking in new tabs
User-friendly interface with simple and effective design
Syncs notes across devices without requiring account creation
Supports exporting notes to HTML and markdown formats
Shortcut keys and zoom adjustments work well

Cons

Ctrl+S shortcut triggers unnecessary Chrome save file dialog
Markdown support is not smooth or fully refined
Limited formatting options such as horizontal margins and checklist features

I like this new tab notes a lot. Very easy to write down quick ideas, todos, any time, and access them in any new tab. One annoying thing is I often hit Ctrl+S as a habit, and Chrome always opens the save file as dialog, which is not needed but very annoying. Can this default behavior be disabled? Thank you in advance.

Good substitute for papier, even though i liked papier's UI better (e.g. checklists, more central starting indentation)

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.

New Tab Notes requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Can alter new tab settings; fairly benign but with some capability to affect user experience.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

New Tab Notes has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
