Why I Built My Own New Tab Extension?

I wanted something simple: a clean view of my bookmarks on the new tab page, organized the way I like them.

I tried a lot of existing extensions. Some were beautiful but too cluttered with โ€œfeaturesโ€ (widgets, news feeds, ads). Others were simple but looked like they hadnโ€™t been updated since 2010.

Me trying to find a decent new tab extension

None of them gave me the right balance of a modern look with zero distractions, so I decided to build my own.

The Result: BookmarkStart ๐Ÿš€
