In a Search of a Favorite Start Page (2025)

There’s been a lot going on recently with Google Chrome (and Microsoft Edge) browser extensions. Things really heated up when new requirements were introduced, dictating how Chrome extensions are built and what they can do – Manifest V3. Think of Manifest V3 as a blueprint or set of guidelines for extension developers, with a strong focus on boosting security, privacy, and performance. While the shift to Manifest V3 is a whole other story, the PayPal Honey scandal prompted Google to take a much closer look at how Chrome extensions behave, especially those involved in affiliate marketing.

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

"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 - Chrome Web Store

A new tab page with your favorite bookmarks.

"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
