New Tab (to preview now, click here)

Installation

1. Download

Download the index.html file from the releases page (recommended) (or download it directly from the repository). Once you have downloaded the file, move the index.html file to the folder where you want to store it.

2. Install New Tab Override extension

Install the extension based on your browser.

Tip: On Chrome it's titled 'New Tab Redirect', on Firefox it's titled 'New Tab Override'

You can install the extension on your browser by selecting your browser below.

Note: If your browser is not Chrome or Firefox either, you should search and see what your browser is based on. Brave is based on Chrome so the Chrome extension will install successfully in Brave.
