User Reviews

Users appreciate that the add-on reliably opens a new tab with Google through its icon and find it simple and useful for quick access. However, multiple users are disappointed that it does not replace the default new tab button or keyboard shortcut, making the separate icon unintuitive. There is a desire for URL customization and better compatibility, particularly with Linux and certain Firefox versions.

Pros

The add-on effectively opens a new tab with Google when clicking its icon.
It is simple, fast, and functional to use.
Helps users who want quick access to Google or need a new tab with Google for Firefox.

Cons

Does not override the default new tab button or Ctrl+T shortcut, requiring a separate icon click.
The separate button can be unintuitive and doesn't meet expectations for users wanting the standard new tab to open Google.
Limited customization such as not allowing changes to Google URL for different countries.
Incompatibility with some Firefox versions and operating systems like Linux was reported.

If it worked by overriding the normall new tab button it would be great but having a separate button is unintuitive and does not work for most people needs.

Is New Tab Google 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.

New Tab Google does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

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.

New Tab Google has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
