New Tab GTD v1.7.9
New Tab GTD is a clean, pleasing and minimalistic New Tab Extension that makes you more productive by just showing you the essentials: a clock and the tabs you have open right now on all windows in a vertical easy-to-scan way. It features both light and colorful themes to cheer you up and dark themes to avoid distractions and eye-strain while keeping it highly legible.
## Features
### Tab List
You can click on any tab to go to it, or close it by clicking the × button. By seeing all tabs from all windows top to bottom, you can manage "tab-chaos" in a very efficient way and clean up all the clutter you may have accumulated after a long browsing session. Below those, you will find the last 5 tabs you've recently closed, so you can restore any accidentally closed tabs.
There is a tiny unobstrusive counter of the tabs and windows you have open on the right that turns red whenever you have more than 9 tabs open (why 9 tabs? see https://lifehacker.com/why-you-should-never-have-more-than-nine-browser-tabs-o-5984149 ). Whenever you have more than one window open, a [Merge] button will show up when hovering the window number, clicking it will merge all windows into one.
You will also see tiny icons next to the favicon of each tab, these are: ⭐️ highlighted tab, 📌 pinned tab, 🔈 audible tab and 💤 sleeping tab.
### Themes and Layouts
If you don't like the default theme, you can change the color theme by clicking the [theme] button, you can also change the size of the clock and elements shown by clicking on [layout].
### Bookmark favorites
Optionally, you can add bookmarks in your _Bookmarks Menu_ folder, and they will be displayed as handy shortcuts.
### Weather info
Optionally, you can get the weather info by clicking on the Weather button and typing coordinates, the extension will not try to geolocate you to respect your privacy and ask you to write it manually. Weather data uses open-meteo.com.
### IP address info
Optionally, click on the IP button to see your public IP address. IP data uses ipify.org.
### Inspiring Quotes
At the bottom of the page, you will find hundreds of carefully selected GTD, motivation, inspiration, productivity, business, positivity and life-advice quotes so you can momentarily declutter your mind and get inspired. Clicking on a quote will show a new one.
## Focused on minimalism
There is nothing more to this extension, which makes it super lightweight and fast to load at just 37 KB of code including images and the full quotes list.
Please keep in mind that the purpose of this extension is to be functional, minimal, simple and lightweight. If you need fancy features such as detailed/interactive weather forecasts, to-do lists, fancy backgrounds and so on, there are many amazing extensions available in the Browser Extensions Store that will suit your needs better. As for myself, I prefer to have a non-distracting straight-to-the-point extension that keeps me focused on whatever I'm doing, while also being super lightweight, this is New Tab GTD.
I'm not affiliated with any third party sites the extension uses. This extension is 100% free and open source and no code has been minified or obscured.
I developed it because I wanted something simple, minimal, lightweight and fast, that gave me simply what I want on my day to day: time, weather, organization and inspiration.
