Ultimate New Tab Page - AI Search & Dial by Dracon

New Tab Ultimate turns every new tab into a calm, focused canvas: a cinematic wallpaper, a glowing clock and search bar, and your favorite sites one click away. No account, no tracking.

SEARCH WITH AI ANSWERS
- Type in the new-tab search bar and get an AI answer panel with suggestions
- Bring your own free Google AI Studio key - it stays on your device and is only ever sent directly to Google
- Like sites to tint them, hide sites you never want to see, filter to liked-only for a quiet page
- Optional automatic link checks quietly drop confirmed-dead links (404/410) and keep everything else - no clutter, no badges

A CANVAS THAT FEELS ALIVE
- Rotating cinematic wallpapers (mountains, aurora, ocean) plus custom image URL support with dim and blur controls
- Clock, date and search front and center; nothing shouting for attention
- Quick-link grid with density, tile and icon sizing, folders and auto-widening layout

FAST RIGHT-EDGE SETTINGS
- The sidebar is the single config surface: grid, wallpaper, search sources, AI settings, todos - all one click away
- Import your existing top sites in one click, or start from curated starters
- Optional bookmark dials and history suggestions, each behind a runtime permission you grant only if you want it
- Todo reminders with notifications and alarms, all local

PRIVACY
- No account, no analytics, no tracking, no vendor proxy
- Your API key lives in local extension storage; AI requests go straight from your browser to Google's Generative Language API when you search
- Link checks are simple HEAD probes (5-second limit); response bodies are never read. Full policy in the privacy policy field below.

PERMISSIONS
- storage (required): saves your preferences, todos and reminder schedule
- bookmarks, history, topSites, notifications, alarms (all optional): only requested when you enable the feature that needs them
- HTTPS site access (optional): only for the automatic link checks, granted on the AI results settings page

1. Install - your current new tab is replaced instantly
2. Open settings from the right edge and arrange your grid and wallpaper
3. Optionally paste a free Google AI Studio key for AI answers
4. Every new tab is now your calm launchpad
