## What it is
nightTab is a customizable browser new tab page that replaces the default with a neutral start page accented by a chosen colour. It lets users configure layout, style, background images or videos, and bookmark groups, and is distributed as a Chrome extension and Firefox add-on.

## Use cases
- customize my browser new tab page
- create a personal start page with bookmarks
- set a custom background image on new tab
- organize bookmarks into groups on a start page
- make a dark themed new tab page
- replace default new tab with a themed dashboard

## When to choose
- you want a highly customizable new tab/start page in Chrome or Firefox
- you prefer local, privacy-respecting settings with backup and restore
- you want bookmark groups with per-item styling and accent colours

## When to avoid
- you need a start page with live widgets like weather or news feeds
- you want a cloud-synced start page across devices
- you need a non-browser desktop start page
