About Personalized New Tab
A fully customizable Chrome new-tab replacement: a live security and AI/robotics research feed, a world clock, a to-do list, and daily quotes — all optional, all toggleable, on top of your own background photo.
Features
Feed — Security news (WeLiveSecurity, Security Affairs, Dark Reading) and an AI & Robotics research category, plus any custom RSS/Atom feed URLs you add. Fetched directly by the background service worker. The manifest only declares host_permissions for those built-in sources; adding a custom feed prompts you for permission to that one domain via optional_host_permissions, rather than the extension asking for broad access to every site up front.
Clock — a live clock across as many timezones as you want to track.
Quotes — a daily Bible verse and a random famous quote, each independently toggleable.
To-do list — a simple, locally-saved task list.
Greeting — an editable name or mantra on every new tab.
Background ripple — your photo ripples like water as you move the mouse over it (WebGL; falls back to a plain static photo where WebGL isn't available). Sensitivity is adjustable, and it's toggleable like everything else below.
Themes — Globetrotter (mid-century travel-poster noir — flat opaque cards, condensed display type, sharp edges, a duotone-filtered background photo) or Terminal (the dark-glass look). A full re-skin, not just a color swap. Either way, pick an accent — Red, Mint, Azure, or Amber — it applies in both. Selectable with a live preview from the options page.
Settings — every widget (greeting, feed, clock, both quotes, to-do, background ripple, the typing effect, and the blinking cursor) can be turned on or off independently, and the feed category, custom feeds, timezones, ripple sensitivity, and theme are all configurable from the options page.
