What New Tab does
Animated aurora background
Four glassmorphism themes — Aurora, Ember, Forest and Midnight — rendered in pure CSS with no image downloads.
Clock & greeting
12/24-hour clock, the date and a personalized greeting with your name stored locally.
Main focus for today
One line with a done checkbox that resets each day.
To-do list
A pop-over panel with add, complete and remove, plus an open-item count.
Quick links
Speed-dial tiles with real favicons from Chrome's built-in favicon API — no external favicon service — add or remove in place.
Quote of the day
30 bundled quotes rotated by day of year, entirely offline.
Settings drawer
Name, theme, clock format and per-widget visibility toggles.
Under the hood
How it works
No magic, no server. Here's what actually happens when you use it.
- 01
Replaces the new-tab page
The dashboard is a chrome_url_overrides page — the toolbar icon simply opens a new dashboard tab.
- 02
Everything local
All widgets read and write chrome.storage.local; nothing is fetched from the network.
Transparency
Every permission, explained
Chrome shows you a list at install time. This is the list, and why each item is there.
| Permission | Why it's needed |
|---|---|
| storage | Save your name, theme, focus, to-dos and links. |
| favicon | Show real site icons on quick-link tiles without an external service. |
| alarms, notifications | Check the TaskGo announcement feed every 6 hours. |
