User reviews

Aurora New Tab is praised for its minimalist, clean design and useful features like date, time, weather, customizable backgrounds, and an integrated note pad. It works well across devices, including Chromebooks. However, multiple users report that the weather feature fails to remember their location, leading to inaccurate weather display. Others find it difficult to add bookmarks or apps, and some find the distraction-free scratchpad unnecessary. Occasional issues with date and time display and unwanted background changes also detract from the experience. Overall, it's a functional and attractive extension with room for improvement.

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.

Aurora New Tab requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
