Introduction

If you're the kind of person who opens dozens of new tabs a day (aren't we all?), your new tab page is prime real estate — and it's probably going to waste.

That’s where New Tab Widgets comes in.

Instead of a blank screen or search bar, this free browser extension turns every new tab into a productivity dashboard filled with widgets that help you stay focused, organized, and in control of your day.

Whether you're working, studying, or just want to feel a little more put together, here’s a simple guide to getting started.

✅ What Is New Tab Widgets?

New Tab Widgets is a customizable new tab extension for Chrome (and other Chromium browsers) that lets you add useful widgets like:

• Sticky notes for quick reminders
• Link shortcuts to your favorite sites
• Weather updates right where you’ll see them
• Spotify controls (yes, really)
• Smart home widgets like Philips Hue lights
• …and a lot more

You can fully personalize the layout, background, and even create multiple pages for different parts of your day (work, personal, chill).

🔧 How to Set It Up (Takes 2 Minutes)

1. Install the extension
Head over to the Chrome Web Store and click "Add to Chrome."

2. Open a new tab
When you open your first new tab, you'll see a few starter widgets already in place — like a “Get Started” guide, a sticky note, a digital clock widget and links. These are there to help you get familiar fast.

3. Click “Add Widget”
You’ll see a bunch of widgets to choose from. Start with a few basics:

• Sticky Notes to jot things down
• Link Launcher for quick site access
• Weather so you know if you need an umbrella
• Spotify if you like background music while you work

4. Move them around
Drag and drop widgets anywhere. Resize them. Make it yours.

💡 Tips for Maximum Productivity

Here’s how power users set things up:

• Use multiple pages: One for Work (calendar, notes, Zoom links), one for Home (music, lighting, YouTube), one for Goals (habits, quotes, reminders).
• Set a calming background: Choose from built-in wallpapers or upload your own. It really does help your mindset.
• Pin important links: Keep email, project tools, or documents one click away — no more typing URLs.

🚀 Want More Features?

You don’t need Pro to enjoy New Tab Widgets, but it unlocks some pretty awesome upgrades:

• Unlimited widgets and pages
• Cloud sync across devices
• Custom CSS and advanced layout tools
• Premium widget features

It’s perfect for people who live in their browser (remote workers, creatives, students, ADHD minds — you name it).
