Org-NewTab

Supercharge your browser's New Tab with Emacs Org-Agenda

Features & Capabilities

Org-NewTab lets your browser new tab page talk to Emacs' org-agenda. The task you should be working is set as your new tab page.

It's comprised of two parts: a browser extension which replaces your new tab page and an Emacs package. The Emacs package runs a WebSocket server which the browser extension talks to.

The Emacs side is invoked with org-newtab-mode'. This starts a WebSocket server which listens on org-newtab-ws-port'. The browser extension connects in and will send an org-agenda match query which is then used by Emacs to find the top task to work on. On connection, the Emacs side will send in data for `org-tag-faces' used to color the task background in the browser extension. The Emacs side will send data over when it's either requested by the browser extension (when it first connects) or when a task is changed (clocked in/out, marked as done, etc).

Extension is fully open source, AGPLv3 licensed. Source and Emacs installation instructions available at https://github.com/Zweihander-Main/org-newtab

Is Org-NewTab 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.

Org-NewTab 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.

Org-NewTab is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
