I was reluctant to switch from Newt Classic which I had been using for years, but it was time, given that Newt Classic is no longer on the Chrome store. This updated Newt is an improvement over the original in every way from my perspective.

Newt Classic/Newt is probably the second most important Chrome extension for me (after my password manager's extension).

One possible feature addition could be to add a context menu option to edit a bookmark, in addition to the current rename and delete options.

Thanks for these great extensions Garrett!

Really well made extension. I love how it is compatible with the Chrome/Edge bookmarks I already had.

Innovativa e utilissima e mi piace molto il modo in cui vengono mostrati i preferiti.
Ci sono, però, delle cose da sistemare per renderla più utilizzabile, ovvero:
1. Bisognerebbe consentire di selezionare un colore arbitrario per la scheda, non solo quei quattro disponibili
2. Bisognerebbe poter scegliere se applicare il colore a tutta la scheda o solo al titolo
3. Nella seconda scheda della barra laterale dovrebbero esserci tutte le app e i servizi Google o quantomeno bisognerebbe consentire all'utente di aggiungerli lì

I've been looking for a good "new tab" to help keep the things I need to come back to front and center, and Newt has been great for this! It's a simple and easy to use interface, and allows me a nice visual access to bookmarks and categories in a way to help keep my mind on the right things.

I even reached out to the developer to talk about the website icons not looking the same as they do in the bookmarks folder. He promptly replied and there was a new version available the next day with improvements to the icons shown!

Thank you for this project!

Absolutely love this extension. It has improved my productivity SO much. And super customizable. I love most of all how it doesn't take any fancy config, it's just a specific folder in your bookmarks, so adding & moving is a breeze. Themes are also very pleasant.

Everything I've wanted in a New Tab addon, 10/10.

The extension is very good. Customizable and synchronizable. If you can align the contents and upload a wallpaper, was a possible option. It would be nice!

Can leave the default user text font, like setting option please. Where is the keyboard shortcut guide? I want a keyboard shortcut for hide or disable the extension dynamically.

Stops "SIMPLE SPEED DIAL" from working. So removed it.

Without a doubt the single most useful extension I've ever used, being by far my favourite new tab page on any browser or extension and providing what might just be the most easily accessible, customisable and usable layout possible, especially if you want to navigate primarily using the cursor without the need for any keyboard input. Its simple use of bookmark folder structure to organise it means you never have to add new bookmarks to the new tab page individually; as long as you save them in a folder present there (and I save all of my bookmarks within folders here, using them as categories) then it is every bit as easy to find and open as those at the top of their lists.

Honestly, this extension is so good that it's a big, big reason why I haven't switched to any browser other than Chrome.

It was really confusing and bad

Great extension. Runs well with no dramas. Only criticism so far is that the web icons next to the names tend to be very pixelated. Increasing their resolution would be nice!
