Extension Usage Instructions
Updates
Version 0.3.1
- Remove unwanted tabs permission. Now I don't need the permission to read and change all the data of the websites you visit
- Use the Favicons provided by chrome instead of a jugaad done. This improves the page load time by about half a second.
- Deprecating Tiles
Tiles are nothing but a glorified bookmark and are also painful to configure and use. If you are using tiles extensively, please move them to your bookmarks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 0.3.0
View your bookmarks in the new tab page
Bookmarks are the most important stuff we have in our browser apart from passwords. Instead of searching for it in the super small bookmark bar, view them on your new tab page.
Note: Only the bookmarks in your bookmarks bar are shown. Bookmarks within other folders are ignored.
View your apps in the new tab page
One of the main reasons people don't like the new tab page is because you need to click the small bookmark to view your apps. But no more. View your apps as the same way of your bookmarks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet another new tab page which increases your productivity, customizes the browser to your tastes and does not have any redundant stuff.
Customize the add-on to your taste from the wrench bar in the bottom right corner.
- Customize your name displayed on the page
- Change your background by entering the url to the image
- Add or delete tiles
- Have different icons for every tile
Note : Using a very high resolution image as a background can slow down the loading of the page ( especially when you have a poor internet connection).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roadmap
- Currently the App/Bookmark text is clipped to 9.9em. Need to dynamically set the clipping of the text
- Make bookmark and App permissions optional.
- Allow the option of resizing the bookmark and app tiles
- Allow the user to choose which bookmarks to view on the new tab page
- Make a better Icon
- Write test cases
