Configurable search, shortcuts and widgets

Your browser start page, properly tuned.

NewTab.ad replaces the default new-tab screen with a clean workspace your users can actually shape. Search provider, shortcut mix and the overall first impression can all be controlled centrally.

Admin-controlled provider

Switch the search engine without touching extension code. The active provider and its search URL are served through the public settings API and picked up by both extension builds.

Curated quicklinks

Update destination URLs, labels and icon badges from the admin interface. This is ideal for sponsored placements, partner links or simply rotating core destinations like Reddit.

Ready for the next steps

The project is scaffolded as its own standalone app, so we can add user personalization, remote widgets, analytics or store submission assets without colliding with PartnerContacts.

What users see first

These chips are pulled from the same config endpoint the extension uses.

Project structure

Built as a separate Codex project

We placed everything into its own sibling folder named newtab-ad, so it can cleanly live as a separate project tab and be deployed independently from PartnerContacts.
