    Unlike the generic new‑tab page, HomepageTab lets you turn every new tab into a personal dashboard. It works in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, adding shortcuts, 30+ widgets and on‑demand tools without any sign‑up. I built it to keep the web tidy and useful—what do you think?

Favorite sites, bookmarks and to-dos at a glance. Customize widgets to make your browser homepage your own. When you open a new tab, you usually want to do one thing: open a website, look something up, or write something down. HomepageTab keeps these entry points on one page, so the next step is easier to find while the page stays calm. Place frequently used websites and saved links where they are easy to reach. Add widgets for the clock, weather, calendar, countdowns, notes, to-dos, and world clocks when you need them. You can adjust the widget positions and page layout, or keep only the few things you use most so the page stays clear. Search continues to use your browser's current default search service, so your search habits stay the same. When needed, you can switch to other available search engines or AI assistants. Wallpapers and light or dark page looks let you make the page feel more like your own. After signing in, you can sync your layout and common settings across supported devices. Without signing in, the web version and browser extension still support local use. HomepageTab is for people who want a new tab that stays simple and convenient while keeping the things they use most within reach. Install it, open a new tab, and get started. What You Can Do - Keep frequently used websites and saved links easy to find. - Use widgets to check the time, weather, calendar, countdowns, and world clocks. - Write down notes and to-dos without moving between different pages. - Arrange widgets, page layout, and wallpapers around the way you browse. - Use your browser's default search, or switch to an available search engine or AI assistant. - Sync your layout and common settings after signing in, or use local features without an account. HomepageTab replaces only the new tab page. It does not change your browser's default search service.
