Minimal New Tab Chrome Extension v1.5.5

A quieter place to begin.

Organize the sites you use every day into clear folders, then keep the setup in sync, backed up, and under your control.

Everyday sites, organized around the way you move through the browser.

One browser should be enough.

I used to keep work, learning, entertainment, and personal interests in separate browsers. It kept things apart, but turned a simple need into a workaround.

Minimal New Tab gives every part of the browser its own place without adding clocks, weather, notes, or another layer of dashboard noise. Open a new tab and the sites you need are already where you expect them.

Your browser, sorted by context.

Folders separate work from learning, media, personal links, or whatever else belongs in your browser. Switching context takes one click, not another profile or another app.

Create, rename, reorder, and remove folders as your routine changes. Long folder rows remain easy to navigate, destructive changes ask for confirmation, and deleting a folder never silently deletes the sites inside it.

Move between contexts without moving between browsers.

Add a site. Keep moving.

Paste github.com and Minimal New Tab completes the address for you. Leave the name empty and it creates a readable title locally from the URL—without opening the page or reading its contents.

Press A to add a site, F to create a folder, or S to open Settings. The shortcuts follow the physical key on every keyboard layout, then stay out of the way while you type. The interface follows Chrome automatically in English or Russian.

A familiar address is enough to save a site where it belongs.

Personal, without becoming busy.

A calm standard background is ready on the first open. Choose your own image, preview it, and adjust the overlay until every site remains easy to read.

Images are checked before use—up to 3 MB and 4096 pixels per side. If a file is invalid or a save is interrupted, the background you already use stays in place. Custom images remain on the current device.

Preview changes before they replace the background you already use.

Your setup can move with you.

Chrome Sync can carry sites, folders, their order, and lightweight preferences between Chrome installations. When moving to another browser, a JSON export gives you a direct, manual route instead.

Custom backgrounds stay out of sync and out of the backup file. Updates migrate existing data automatically, and the last valid setup remains available if stored settings are damaged or a write is interrupted.

Move the organized setup without moving the device-local background.

Private by default.

Minimal New Tab asks only for the Chrome permissions needed to save your setup and show icons for sites you add.

There is no account, sign-in, analytics, advertising, access to every page you visit, backend, or remote code. Your sites, folders, preferences, and background are not sent to the developer.
