Simple NTP is a Chrome extension that revamps your New Tab Page by presenting essential information like local weather, bookmarks, and recent visits in an elegant Material Design card layout. It eliminates the hassle of navigating through menus or using shortcuts, making your frequently accessed data instantly available as soon as a new tab opens. Customize your experience by switching temperature units between Celsius and Fahrenheit or enjoy a fresh random background image from Unsplash each time you open a tab.

This extension prioritizes privacy, requiring only your location to provide accurate weather updates while using cookies solely to store weather data without collecting personal information. Additionally, Simple NTP supports dark mode on Chrome 75+ running on Windows 10 (May 2019 update) and macOS Mojave or later, ensuring a visually comfortable browsing environment.

Great extension! I love the simplicity and flow of it. One thing I wish I could do was edit the links or a block of links, rather than have them be static. (I think I also found a bug where it didn't round the wind speed and instead it went out 15 decimals, but that's a non issue and doesn't affect my rating)

Cute, but a bit too minimal. I cant see bookmarks bar folders like normal NTP

I absolutely love the fact that you don't see the bookmarks bar when opening a new tab, but unfortunately the extension should allow for you to have any other main page as a new tab. Terrible idea to show your history too...

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.

Simple NTP requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
