Description

If you're looking for a new tab page that's neat enough to let you enjoy your favorite backgrounds. At the same time, you want to be able to access your frequently used websites very quickly, then you have found it now!
This is a super simple new tab page, nothing, you can use static images, gifs, or even videos as the background, you can still use the responsive launcher to quickly open the page, just swipe right, It will "catch" the mouse cursor and view your bookmarks very intuitively, without the need for extra clicks or touching the edges. For the ultimate simplicity, there isn't even a settings button here, but you can double-click on the blank space to open the settings interface.

----v4.0 update instructions----
- "Built-in Wallpaper" changed to "Wallpaper"
- Added animation when wallpaper thumbnails are loading
- Add thumbnail preview of video, mouse over thumbnail to play preview
- Added history function, now used custom wallpapers will be displayed in the "Wallpaper" column.
- The file type is limited by space. So it's only the last time used is kept.
- An unlimited number of URL types can be saved (but the huge number of records may still exceed the storage limit and cause an error. The specific number of URLs that can be saved is related to many factors, such as user's disk size, URL length, etc.)
- History will automatically put the most recently used first, you can delete a single history record by clicking the X button on the thumbnail
- When selecting in the "Wallpaper" field, the background will instantly preview the selected wallpaper now
- Fixed the problem of random sorting of wallpapers
- Fixed an issue where the settings need to be re-saved before they can be used due to mismatched configuration files after an update. (The "version" attribute is added to the configuration file. When the configuration file version does not match the updated version, the configuration file will be automatically updated now)

----v3.5 update instructions----
- Optimize the loading logic, no longer read bookmarks after background reading, and now read bookmarks first
- Optimized the bookmark loading logic. Now bookmarks without a website icon will be displayed immediately. After the website icon is obtained, it will be updated. The bookmark button will no longer wait for the icon to be loaded.
- Fixed an issue where there was no initial setting when installing for the first time, which made it unusable. Now it will automatically set the initial setting when it detects that the configuration does not exist.
- Due to encoding issues, the name of the default background was changed from "Texture" to "Default"
- Touchscreen compatibility changed to touchscreen mode

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
