JSTAR Tab – Customizable New Tab Page

JSTAR Tab

A new tab that actually feels like yours.

JSTAR Tab replaces your browser's new tab page with something you actually enjoy opening. Your name, your shortcuts, your fonts, your colors — set up in a few clicks during onboarding and tweakable any time from the settings page.

It works offline, your data stays local, and there is a full backup/restore system for when you switch devices or reinstall.

✨ Key Features

• 👋 Personal Greeting – Greets you by name with a time-based message using custom variables like {name}, {time}, and {date}.
• 🔗 Shortcuts – A grid of your favorite sites with auto-fetched favicons. Right-click to edit or delete.
• 🔍 Search – Supports Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Perplexity AI, and SearXNG. Press / to focus instantly.

• 🎞️ Motion – Scale animations from full to none for accessibility or personal preference.
• 🔒 Privacy – Anonymous Mode masks your name and blurs shortcuts. Password-protect individual shortcuts.
