Introducing the Ultimate Customizable New Tab Dashboard for Chrome

Are you looking to transform your browser’s new tab experience into a powerful productivity hub? After several years of development, I’m excited to unveil a comprehensive Chrome extension designed to enhance your daily workflow with a range of versatile widgets and features.

Originally inspired by a simple desire to control Philips Hue lighting directly from a new tab, this project has evolved into a fully customizable dashboard that I now rely on daily. Whether you want quick access to information, personalized controls, or seamless integrations, this extension has you covered.

Key Features and Functionalities:

• Embed Custom Content with Iframes
  Easily add personalized widgets by targeting specific webpage elements using CSS selectors. For example, display GitHub issues or a stock ticker with just a few clicks.

• Essential Productivity Tools
  Access weather updates, world clocks, your favorite bookmarks and groups, sticky notes, and more — all from your new tab.

• Philips Hue Lighting Control
  Manage your smart lights effortlessly with scene and group widgets, and perform actions like turning lights on/off or changing colors via intuitive right-click menus.

• Quick Launch for Steam Games
  Launch your favorite Steam titles directly from the new tab for instant gaming access.

• Advanced Search Capabilities
  Search across multiple engines, with your search history stored locally for quick retrieval.

• Calendar Integration
  View your Google Calendar events at a glance to stay organized.

• Customizable and Extensible Widgets
  Use JSON configurations for advanced customization and style your dashboard with your own CSS.

• Optional Welcome Screen
  A friendly introduction page appears on load, offering tips and quick setup options.

This powerful extension is available now on the Chrome Web Store and can be installed easily. You can learn more and explore its features through the official website.
