Meet Tab-R: My New Browser Extension

Hi everyone,

I’d like to introduce you to Tab-R, a browser extension I’ve been working on for the past six months. It’s compatible with Chromium-based browsers and Firefox.

The idea for Tab-R came from my frustration with the default new tab pages in browsers. They always felt so plain and boring—just a search box and not much else. I wanted something better. That’s where Tab-R comes in.

What’s Tab-R All About?

My goal with Tab-R was simple:

• Make new tabs beautiful: Every time you open a new tab, you’ll see a high-quality photo of nature.
• Give users choice: You can select your favorite search engine and easily switch between them.
• Provide useful info: Basic details like the current date and time are displayed right on the page.

It’s also open source and licensed under MIT, so anyone can tweak it to fit their needs.

Why Did I Build This?

Honestly, I just wanted to create something that I’d enjoy using every day. I love nature, and seeing amazing landscapes every time I open a new tab brings a bit of joy into my browsing. Plus, I wanted to share this with others while keeping it open and free for everyone.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to check out the project on GitHub: Tab-R Repository.
