Shelf

A shelf of books on your new tab, separate from the bookmarks bar.

Every link on Shelf is a book on your new tab, and the cover colour comes from the site's icon, so Spotify is green and Wikipedia is cream with dark letters. The books are bookmarks in their own folder under Other bookmarks, so your bookmarks bar stays the same. To add a book you drag a link onto the shelf. That can be the little icon to the left of the address bar, a link on another page or something off the bookmarks bar. Tabs don't work, because Chrome pulls them out into a new window. When you let go a card opens under the book where you can rename it or paste in a different icon, and if Chrome hasn't loaded the site yet the book shows its first letter until the icon comes in. It opens on a flat shelf. In Settings you can switch to a 3D one with cloth spines and page edges on an oak plank, and change the paper and accent colours. There's also a ribbon that goes on the site you opened most this week and the last book leans on the others, and both can be turned off. The putty paper colour came from Shopify Editions and the 3D spines are based on Grokipedia's shelf. There's no account or server, everything stays in your bookmarks and Chrome sync.
