Add-on summary

This extension provides users with a clean and distraction-free "new tab" page experience by replacing the default one. Instead of the cluttered default page, it presents a simple time and date view accompanied by Bing's daily wallpapers, which are automatically updated once per day.

Key Features:

  1. Automatic updates of wallpapers from Bing's daily collection.
  2. Access to the items on your bookmarks bar.
  3. Support for adding new links to the bookmarks bar through drag-and-drop functionality.
  4. Optional weather widget integration.
  5. Customizable wallpaper options.

It's important to note that while the bookmarks bar remains accessible, the top-sites section is removed to avoid clutter on the new tab page.

To perform searches, use the address bar (there is no need for a separate search box). Type your search query in the address bar and press the "Enter" key.

Users can add a weather widget to the user interface. Click on the hamburger icon to option the options sidebar, then enable the weather widget. This widget uses the OpenWeatherMap API to retrieve and display the current weather conditions.

User reviews

This is quite good but I would like to remove the display of seconds like 12:34:56 -> 12:34. Also perhaps a way to choose a font.
