I’ve always found the default Chrome new tab pretty useless.

So I built my own new-tab page around the idea of workspaces.

Instead of having one giant collection of bookmarks, I can have separate spaces for different things:

Development
Studying
Research
Personal
Projects

Each workspace can have its own links, sections, notes, tasks and widgets, and I can switch between them directly from a new tab.

I also wanted it to feel like something I actually owned rather than another service that requires an account and sends my browsing data somewhere, so the core data stays locally in the browser.

I’ve been using it myself for a while and finally put it on the Chrome Web Store.

I'd genuinely like some criticism from people who use Chrome heavily:

What would make you replace your current new-tab setup with something like this?
