JP-Startpage Firefox

JP-Startpage

A keyboard-driven startpage/new-tab page with a pseudo-Japanese terminal aesthetic. Panels of links open by hotkey, with a clock, weather, quotes and your own images.
xHeader
Modify request and response headers. No ads, no malware.

Features & Capabilities

JP-Startpage replaces the new tab with a quiet, keyboard-first page: a clock, an image box you can drop pictures onto, a rotating quote, live weather, and panels of links that open by hotkey.

KEYBOARD

Press a panel's letter to open it, then a link's letter to follow it. Press / to search, and a single letter after the slash picks an engine for that one search. Escape clears.

CONFIGURE

Everything sits behind the CONFIG tray in the bottom right: colors, light and dark, clock format, type scale, box height, greeting, weather, quote source, panels and their links, images, search engines and the tab title. Click a link row to edit its label, hotkey and URL in place.

SYNC

Profile sync keeps your setup level across every machine signed into the same Firefox Account, with Add ons ticked in Sync preferences. A GitHub Gist option moves a setup between different browsers. You can also export and import a plain .json file.

PRIVACY

No accounts, no analytics, no third-party requests on load. The fonts ship with the extension. Weather comes from Open-Meteo only while the weather panel is on, and location is IP-level or browser-level at your choice. Favicons are off by default because turning them on asks Google for an icon per domain.

Is JP-Startpage Safe?

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.

JP-Startpage requires very minimum permissions.

  • Medium *** ***** *** *** ********* ****** ****** *** **** **** ********** ** ****** **** ***********
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. 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 Firefox add-on.

JP-Startpage is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
