Stable Release (v3.3)

Installation

Chromium-Based Browsers

Install from Chrome Web Store or Microsoft Edge Add-ons:

Or follow the manual steps below:
Manual Installation:
- Prepare the Extension Folder:
  - Ensure you’ve cloned the repository or downloaded the ZIP file and extracted it.
- Open Extensions Page: Open your preferred browser and enter the following text in the address bar:
  - Chrome: chrome://extensions
  - Edge: edge://extensions
  - Brave: brave://extensions
  - Opera: opera://extensions
- Enable Developer Mode:
  - Turn on Developer Mode in the extensions page.
- Load Unpacked Extension:
  - Click on Load unpacked and select your extracted extension folder.
Additional Steps ONLY for Opera (or Opera GX):

[!NOTE] Opera does not support replacing the default New Tab.
This method only sets the extension as a startup page.

Click here for the workaround

Go to the Settings.
Scroll to the On startup section (use the search option if needed).
Click on Open a specific page or set of pages and then click on Add a new page.
Add the following (replace 32-character extension ID if installed manually) to the Site URL:

chrome-extension://jjpokbgpiljgndebfoljdeihhkpcpfgl/index.html

To find the extension ID:
- Go to opera://extensions, find the extension, and copy the 32-character ID from its details.
To simulate new tabs:
- Bookmark the extension page to access new tab pages manually.
- Or, right-click the tab and select Duplicate tab.

Below are screenshots of the process to guide you through each step visually.

Firefox

Install from Firefox Add-ons
Update the Homepage:
- Open Firefox and obtain the UUID:
  - Hover over the New Tab button (next to the tab close button). A tooltip will display the extension's unique ID, which looks like this: 0f31e1c1-d63c-4660-b950-8bfbda3bb20a. Copy or note this ID.
  - Alternatively, type about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in the address bar and find the extension's UUID there.
- Open Settings and navigate to Home, or type about:preferences#home in the address bar.
- Under the Homepage and new windows section, select Custom URLs....
- Paste the following URL, replacing the ID with your actual UUID:
```
moz-extension://e31d6701-f699-414f-bb4c-8fde495c432e/index.html
```
- This will update both your homepage and new tab to the extension.
Additional Steps ONLY for Zen Browser :
- Open a new tab and go to about:config.
- Accept the risk and continue if prompted.
- In the search bar, type:
```
zen.urlbar.replace-newtab
```
- Set its value to false by clicking the toggle icon.
This ensures the browser does not override the custom New Tab page set by the extension.
Manual Installation (Temporary):
- Clone the repository or download and extract the ZIP file.
- Prepare the Manifest:
  - Delete the existing manifest.json file.
  - Rename manifest(firefox).json to manifest.json.
- Load Temporary Add-on:
  - Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox, select "This Firefox", then click Load Temporary Add-on.
  - Browse and select the updated manifest.json.
