Pour l'instant, cette extension satisfait mes attentes : configurer une page web directement affichable après avoir cliqué sur "new tab"

Just tried this app after finding it on the developers website. I am trying to set the default search engine to DuckDuckGo, which is set as the default in my settings. I haven't been able to do that. Otherwise, it looks very impressive.
