Features & Capabilities

A calmer and faster way to start browsing

Mist replaces your default new tab with a lightweight and customizable start page.

Organize your favorite websites into shortcut groups, and customize the appearance without creating an account.

Main features

Organize shortcuts into local groups with drag and drop
Choose from lightweight color modes and illustrated premium themes
See the time, date, greeting, and optional current weather
Import or export your configuration as JSON
Send optional bug reports or feature suggestions from Mist
Keep your preferences locally in your browser

Private by design

Weather can use a city or postal code you enter, or an approximate IP-based city. It never requests precise browser geolocation, and the weather feature can be disabled at any time.

Shortcut icons are loaded through favicon service. Only the shortcut domain and normal connection information are sent for this visible shortcut feature; shortcut labels and other Mist preferences are not sent.

Mist contains no ads, analytics, or accounts. The optional feedback form contacts a developer-operated Netlify endpoint only when you choose to submit a message.

Is Mist — Minimal New Tab Safe?

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.

Mist — Minimal New Tab requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Can alter new tab settings; fairly benign but with some capability to affect user experience.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Mist — Minimal New Tab is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
