Dear Favorites New Tab Page Developers:

I hope this message finds you well. I’ve been using your "Favorites New Tab Page" extension and have found it incredibly useful. It has significantly improved my browsing experience, and I would be disappointed to see it go.

Recently, I noticed a notice from Google stating that the extension may no longer be supported soon due to not following the best practices for Chrome extensions. As a dedicated user, I wanted to reach out to express my appreciation for your work and to inquire if there are any plans to update the extension to meet the current Chrome Web Store guidelines.

If there's anything I or the community can do to support this process, please let me know. I believe there are many users like myself who would love to see this extension continue to be available.

Thank you for your time and for creating such a fantastic tool.

Best regards,
Mark

any other fans of this extension?

no import required - uses your existing chrome bookmarks, but with a nice full screen grid view of browser bookmarks with favicons automatically applied - makes nice internet launcher, including 3x3 app folders, similar to iOS / android home screen. Supports drag and drop. changes are synced to Google cloud since its a launcher gui for your existing bookmarks

Uses doc mode layout (left to right, top to bottom) for anyone familiar with the physics of the iPad / iPhone home screen

what do you think?

It's called Favorites New Tab Page

favorites new tab page - Does anyone else think this extension is amazing?

it feels native. its fast. you don't have to import anything because it uses your existing bookmarks, but in a much more user friendly grid view. I wish I had known about this extension when I got my chromebook a few years ago. but i never stumbled upon it until recently, and I just feel like I want to spread the word about it. I feel like, as chromeOS is somewhat lacking in the "launcher" department, I feel like this is just, amazing. I don't know why its not at the top of the charts and why its not a featured extension.

here's the link:

chromewebstore.google.com/deta

PS. if you want a dark background, here's what you do

right click > settings > theme and choose a theme where the background is black (High Contrast Colorful)

under theme, click "Background", click "color" and use the color picker to select black, so its easier on the eyes, giving it a nice night mode / dark theme.

my current review of "Favorites - New Tab Page" by Web Accessories - my current favorite Chrome Extension

"hands down the best thing for chrome ever. developer. please create a tip jar for yourself so you can be rewarded for your work and continue working on the greatest thing for chrome. it's so good that it feels native. feels like an official native product. Its your bookmarks, but instead of a tiny sliver of text links, you get a nice full screen grid layout, the way it should be.

wow. this should be the top new home page. thank you to the developers.

could we get an option for an animated folder opening? and maybe the folder would open as a large
square over the main bookmarks view so that, we could easily tap anywhere outside that to go back to the main view? what do you think? thank you.

additional thoughts / ideas

- maybe an "undo" button that appears after something is moved or changed to help users out a bit
- maybe when we tap a folder, it open in a quick smooth animated way, similar to how app folders on Nova Launcher / Android / iPhone / iPad open up. then we could tap outside the folder area to go back to the main view"

draft - favorites - new tab page -

dear google and / or the developer of "Favorites - New Tab Page"

please partner with each other to make the "Favorites - New Tab Page" extension more well-known. it's a service that, came out 4 or 5 years ago; i've been using chromeOS now for about 3 years, never saw this extension and now that i have it, it feels like such an almost native part of chrome browser, that its like, i feel like everyone should have it.

On ChromeOS, we don't get the "luxury" of a "desktop".

so, an extension like this is kinda a beautiful thing. I think everyone should know about this extension. But, the developer should be rewarded for creating this extension. Maybe more extensions that are similar to this one should be made and this type of extension could even be improved to make it even better.

i'm thinking maybe like, animations so when you tap a link folder, it kinda animates to open up like you might expect.

"Favorites - New Tab Page" is a new tab page for the chrome web browser that takes your existing bookmarks and presents them in a way that pleasantly utilizes your screen real estate so you get nice big buttons, its similar to a launcher on Android / iOS and so, its quite nice, I think.

I gave a review of 5 stars, because, I have missed something like Nova Launcher for chromeOS, and so, this kind of takes my internet bookmarks, and gives them that sort of "nova launhcer" type experience where my bookmarks can fill up the whole screen if I choose to do that, instead of a tiny sliver of a bookmarks bar. and it's fast too.

I give it 5 stars.

I also typed

"wow. this should be the top new home page. thank you to the developers.

could we get an option for an animated folder opening? and maybe the folder would open as a large square over the main bookmarks view so that, with some margins around the opened folder, we could easily tap anywhere outside that square in the margins, to go back to the main view? what do you think? thank you."

"Favorites - New Tab Page" i think is my favorite new "favorites/new tab page" setup. its like how it *should* be. The way bookmarks *should be* on chrome/chromeOS/chromebooks etc. it takes your existing bookmarks, and takes advantage of all the screen real-estate you've got and gives you a beautiful icon-grid layout which you can customize to you heart's content.

if you were kinda missing the ability to do a nova launcher type setup in chromeOS /chromebook, "Favorites - New Tab Page" is a solution I think you might enjoy
