User reviews

Humble New Tab Page is praised for its clean, efficient, and highly customizable bookmark management across multiple columns and nested folders, offering simplicity without unnecessary clutter or permissions. Users appreciate its privacy focus and smooth handling of large bookmark collections. Frequent critiques include the inability to reorder bookmarks via drag-and-drop, lack of some convenience features like notes or favicon updates, no auto night mode, and issues opening local file URLs.

Simplicity that reduces clutter and focuses on bookmarks only.

No automatic night mode/dark theme.
Cannot open local files (file:// URLs).

Does *exactly* what I need, clear bookmarks in several columns, allows for nested folders, allows special categories, lets you lock columns to prevent accidental clicks. 10/10 - an extension I could not live without.

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.

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