Amazing aesthetic new tab page, I love it! Everyone should install it. It's amazing! You can open as many tabs as you want Just keep in mind it uses a bit of RAM.

Interesting new tab page, custom backgrounds, easy-to-use, and not cluttered with unnecessary UI. The bookmarks folders/tabs feature is a big plus; makes new tab navigation better than default browsers experience.
by Omar Nasr, 2025-04-24

used. everything was fine bought a new laptop. synchronized. surprise! paid version. all your tabs except 5 are blocked. want to find your links - pay. why should I use what others give for free? why should I pay you so that I can go to my tabs? earn money on something else.
