Just a New Tab

✨ Turn every new tab into a peaceful moment of inspiration.

《Just a New Tab》is a premium browser extension designed for those who appreciate minimalism, aesthetics, and mindfulness. It replaces the default blank page with a beautiful, glassmorphic dashboard featuring warm greetings, daily quotes, and practical widgets.

Whether you're starting your morning or working late at night, enjoy a clean design with gentle background transitions that bring a peaceful touch to your browsing workflow.

🌟 Key Features

🖼 Dynamic Wallpaper Gallery Random Rotation: Cycles through your enabled wallpapers on every new tab, using a smooth cross-fade transition and a subtle Ken Burns zoom effect to make the page feel alive. Premium Default Wallpapers: Comes with 6 aesthetic, pre-bundled illustrations. Custom Uploads: Drag & drop or click to upload your favorite photos (up to 25MB each, with optional auto-downscaling to 4K to save space). Select which ones to include in the rotation pool, or delete them instantly with a single click.

✍ Inspiring Quotes Widget Cloud Fetching: Enable cloud quotes to pull inspiring thoughts dynamically. Choose your source: ZenQuotes (English, auto-translated for Traditional Chinese UI), Hitokoto (Simplified Chinese), or AnimeChan (anime quotes). Custom Quotes Library: Add your own favorite quotes and authors. They will rotate randomly along with the default pool. Flicker-Free Load: Optimized rendering fetches quotes instantly from local cache on load, eliminating any 0.x second layout shifts or blinking.

⏰ Elegant Clock & Dynamic Greeting Glassmorphic Clock: Displays the current time, date, and day of the week with a clean, premium font; switch between digital/analog styles and sizes. World Clocks (up to three): Beyond the local clock, add a second and third clock pinned to three fixed left/center/right slots — handy for checking New York, London, or Tokyo time at a glance. Pick from 20 built-in cities or type any custom city (timezone resolved automatically). Smart Greetings: Dynamically adjusts greeting phrases based on the hour (Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night) with custom name personalization support.

🌤 Live Weather (optional) Shows the current temperature and condition under each clock via the free Open-Meteo service with no browser geolocation permission required: type a city for local weather, while world clocks show their own city's weather automatically. Toggle °C/°F.

🔍 Search Box Search right from the new tab with any search engine installed in your Firefox — pick one from the dropdown (defaults to your Firefox default engine) via the official Search API. Open results in the current or a new tab.

🔗 Quick Link Shortcuts (Speed Dial) Add, edit, or delete your most visited websites. Cards automatically fetch website favicons, maintaining a clean and beautiful grid. Open links in the current tab, a new tab, or a new window, and import your browser's top sites in one click.

📰 RSS Reader Board (optional) Subscribe to your favorite sites' RSS feeds and see fresh headlines scroll across the top of the page, click to read. Off by default; the required network permission is requested only when you enable it.

📝 Reminders & Calendar (optional) Local Reminders: Add to-dos and reminders in the corner of your new tab, with an optional due time and overdue highlighting. Stored entirely on your device — no network requests. Calendar Subscription: Paste the private iCal URL from Google / Outlook / Apple Calendar to see your next 14 days of events at a glance (read-only). Off by default; access is requested only for that URL when you add it.

🎨 Theme Pack Import Install curated official theme packs in one click, or drag in your own .zip theme (bundling wallpapers and a quotes text file) to apply a whole look at once.

💾 Settings Backup & Restore Export everything (shortcuts, quotes, RSS, reminders, calendars, wallpapers, and more) to a single file, then restore it on another device or after a reinstall — keeping the same experience without any sign-in or cloud.

🎛 Tailored UI Settings Open the side drawer to toggle individual widgets (clock, greeting, search, quotes, quick links, RSS board, reminders, calendar, and zoom effect) on or off according to your preference.

🔒 Privacy & Performance Commitment

100% Local Storage (Offline-First): Your uploaded background images, custom quotes, reminders, and your calendar's private iCal URL are stored locally in the browser (IndexedDB / localStorage). The calendar is read-only and reminders are purely local. No data is sent or uploaded to external servers. Your privacy is fully secured. Lightweight & Fast: Built entirely in vanilla HTML/CSS/JS without heavy frameworks. Opens instantly with zero impact on system memory.
