mine is like that, I hate Firefox's default new tab page because it keeps showing the pages I've visited in addition to my pinned pages, and as far as I know, there's no easy way to disable it. I generally don't need anything flashy; a page where I can see only my pinned pages would be enough. It would also be great to choose the size and placement of these pins, because Firefox's default page places them in a huge and very unattractive way.

Additionally, blurred and overly cluttered new tab pages can cause performance issues. I shouldn't have to wait for the new tab page to load when I first open the browser. it must be snappy.

Tabnine is a fork and up-to-date Tabliss with many issues fixed https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-nine/

Tabliss was good but last updated was >2 years ago

[drifting shore]

Currently cooking a prototype, but I will share my criteria of an ideal NTP after looking up some of popular NT extensions. Is this list missing something?

[drifting shore]

Agreed. Thats also the thing i appreciate about my choice back then, Humble New Tab Page

existing bookmarks laid as title list (with or without favicons)

[errant stream]

The beauty of Tabliss/Tabnine is zero permissions

It's so simple and safe because there's zero permissions so they're very safe

For example thoses that can access to internet and bookmark at the same time can send your bookmarks to somewhere

[errant stream]

It's just their overcomplex design

Google/DuckDuckGo offer API to get favicon for free, without POST

That part probably need to be rewritten if you want Bonjour

Pretty ez

But having a great and lightweight new tab page is great

Because Firefox's New Tab Page is utter trash sadly

Not only it looks ugly, it's also heavy, can cause CPU spike even

Because it connects to many API, like bookmark and history APIs, so it's heavier than New Tab Page addons

And its UX is pretty trash

[drifting shore]

Elaborate

Spoiler. Not done yet, probably continued tomorrow. Too sleepy rn

[jaunty bear]

[rapid locust]

those are not bookmarks, but i diasble all permissions

[cosmic hornet]

nighttab is more customizable

[cosmic hornet]

[vernal lotus]

@cosmic hornet im alredy using the extension, the only bad thing and idk how to fix it its when i launch the broswer the extension doesn't activate at the same comparated with tabliss

too much customizations

[cosmic hornet]

[vernal lotus]

[cosmic hornet]

[vernal lotus]

maybe the videos doesn't look kinda HD but I'm not complaining

[obtuse hatch]

try mtab

[cosmic hornet]

mtab is cool, but I want more stuff so Im using casca

[hushed sequoia]

looks like nighttab but very simple

looks nice

[rough kiln]

This Add-on has similar things, and has an MPL 2.0 license,... although it has not been updated in a year.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/metadesk/

[cosmic hornet]

icons look shit

also if it hasnt been updated I dont think all the features work properly?

and crypto shit too

[rough kiln]

They were surely targeting Brave users 😆

[rough kiln]

The truth is that I have not tried it, since they asked for many permissions that were too intrusive.

[cosmic hornet]

yeah seems like it'd do that lol

looks very sus

[rough kiln]

That is to say, perhaps it is understood that the permissions are because it comes with "Bookmark Management" (which is appreciated because Firefox's default is not very usable.)

It also brings other productivity functions such as notebooks, sticky notes, to-do lists, mind maps, etc.

However, with crypto it gives rise to suspicion. And I also already manage the bookmarks in Sidebery, and the productivity functions in apps like Appflowy, and Affine.

[cosmic hornet]

yea, I dont really use bookmarks much, and I do productivity stuff in anytype

[rough kiln]

I've been on the Anytype wishlist for so long that I already have almost everything on Appflowy (after migrating from Affine),…

It looks good in terms of functionality, although I am still satisfied with the performance of Appflowy

[cosmic hornet]

why not anytype

wdym on the wishlist

anytype does need more features yeah, but it works well for me

[rough kiln]

The thing is that I was waiting a long time for it to be available, I had already ruled it out,... however I see that they are progressing well,... maybe I will give you some opportunity to try it... and evaluate if the change is appropriate...

[cosmic hornet]

yeah you can try sometime, its pretty good

[drifting shore]

I tried Anytype before. Migrating to Craft after that (free tier but student so I still got good plenty spots for notes and such). Now I'm ended up in Amplenote and loving it so far ❤️

especially since i wasn't really the type to be very strict on privacy/encryption and Amplenote simple yet eyeopening UI works for me well

[cosmic hornet]

I care about privacy and anytype gets everything done for me so I stuck with it

[rustic nova]

trilium next is also a good foss note taking app

[hushed sequoia]

I just use obsidian

[gray oasis]

this is exactly what ive been needing
