Bento - New Tab

A new tab page you arrange yourself. Move, restyle or switch off the clock, bookmarks, shortcuts, search and Google links.

A new tab page you arrange yourself. Move, restyle or switch off every piece — clock, bookmarks, shortcuts, search. Detailed description Bento turns your new tab into a page you actually control. Every piece is yours to move, restyle, or remove. Drag widgets around the page to position them, pick from eleven clock faces, set your own colours, and switch off anything you do not want. Nothing is fixed in place. WHAT YOU CAN CHANGE • Position — turn on Arrange mode and drag the clock, bookmarks, shortcuts, search bar and Google button anywhere on the page. They snap to the centre lines, or anchor to whichever edge you leave them near, so your layout survives a resized window. Prefer numbers? Type exact offsets instead. • Clock — eleven faces: a glass card, an analog dial, a glowing readout, a typographic poster, a split-flap board, a word clock that spells the time out, concentric rings, a seven-segment LCD, scrolling reels, a sunrise-to- sunset arc, and hollow outline numerals. • Background — use your own image or video, with blur, shadow and blend controls. • Colour — set the text colour of each widget separately, and tune the tint of the glass panels. • Shortcuts — add your own, reorder them by dragging, lay them out in a row or a column, and set the spacing. • Bookmarks — your Chrome bookmarks bar, reorderable. • Google links — a panel of fifty Google services, from Gmail and Drive to Cloud Console and Analytics. Tick the ones you want, drag them into the order you want, ignore the rest. • Show or hide — every widget has an off switch. Want nothing but a clock on a photo? That works. SEARCH The search bar sends what you type to Google and suggests pages from your browsing history as you type. It does not change your default search engine, your homepage, or your startup page — those stay exactly as you set them in Chrome. PERMISSIONS AND DATA Bento asks for three permissions and uses each for one visible thing: • Bookmarks — to show and reorder your bookmarks bar. • History — to suggest pages in the search bar as you type. • Storage — to remember your settings and shortcuts. Your settings stay on your machine. Bento has no account, no analytics, and no server: nothing you do here is sent anywhere we control. Site icons for your shortcuts and the Google panel are loaded from Google's public favicon service, and the page fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. Bento is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
