BNT Better New Tab

Fast, customizable and modular new tab experience

Turn every new tab into a personal center. BNT (Better New Tab) replaces your blank new tab page with a fast, beautiful and fully customizable dashboard. Drag, drop and resize widgets exactly where you want them — and your layout stays put, even when you resize the window. Built entirely with pure vanilla JavaScript and CSS. No frameworks, no trackers, no bloat — just a snappy start page that respects your time and your data. NEW IN 2.4 • Image and video backgrounds with a full-screen editor. Drag, zoom, rotate and crop your media, then fine-tune brightness, contrast, saturation, blur and dimming. Video backgrounds add loop, mute, volume and playback-speed controls and pause automatically when the tab is in the background. • Interactive, step-by-step onboarding that walks you through setup, editing and appearance the first time you open BNT. • Sticky Notes — free-floating notes placed anywhere on your board. • A rebuilt grid engine that keeps every widget exactly in place when the window is resized. MODULAR WIDGETS Add only what you need and arrange it freely on a smart grid: • Clock — digital or analog, seconds, date • Weather — real-time conditions, automatic or manual location • Search — multi-engine with "bangs" and history suggestions • Shortcuts — your favorite sites as a grid or list • News — RSS aggregator with your own sources • To-Do — quick task list with completion tracking • Notes — jot ideas down instantly, with autosave • Sticky Notes — free-floating notes anywhere on the board • Pomodoro — focus timer with work / break cycles • Crypto — live cryptocurrency prices (powered by CoinGecko) • Quotes — a fresh daily quote SMART SEARCH WITH BANGS Search from the new tab and jump straight to any site: type "!yt lofi" for YouTube, "!w Einstein" for Wikipedia, "!gh react" for GitHub. Create unlimited custom bangs of your own.
