User Reviews

Users consistently praise nightTab for its strong customizability, attractive appearance, and ease of setup/use, noting it offers quick access and good organization. The primary repeated drawback is the inability to upload local images for thumbnails (images must be hosted via a URL). Overall feedback is positive with customization and visuals highlighted most often.
Pros
  • Highly customizable with many options and personalization
  • Attractive, modern-looking interface
  • Easy to configure and use
  • Provides quick access and good organization for shortcuts
Cons
  • Cannot upload thumbnail/custom images from local storage (images must be provided as an internet URL)

nice idea with no accessability options. I have a vision issues that i was looking for alternative to firefox shortcuts becasuse they added animations. I wish developers cared about accessablity.

Can't switch the search bar search engine, it's not really possible to upload own photos and there are no widgets like "Tab" from seelay or like "Tabliss - New Tab" from tabliss.io

Is nightTab 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.

nightTab 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.

nightTab has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
