Material You NewTab

Material You NewTab is an extension for your browser that replaces the default New Tab or homepage, providing a fresh and modern look inspired by Google’s Material You design. This extension can be installed on nearly any browser, including Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Safari.

With a variety of themes to choose from, you can personalize your browser according to your preferences. You can also enter your name or a custom text, so every time you open your browser, you’re greeted with your personalized message. Additionally, it allows you to search using your preferred search engine—whether it's Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, or YouTube—without needing to manually change the settings each time.
