Put iOS 15 into the browser? This little tool is crazy good

Recently, when Shichao was surfing the Internet, he found a front-end programmer who couldn't stand the browser start page.

He worked on it for more than 400 hours by himself, from product design to front-end and back-end development, and finally made a simple start page plug-in that satisfied him. The most important thing is: this is a browser plug-in tool that is not disturbed by advertisements and is free and open.

This start page plug-in integrates functions such as calendar, weather, headlines, posters, frequently used websites, etc., and the aesthetics of this start page plug-in is also very online, with a strong "fruity flavor".

After Shichao tried it out, he found that this plug-in is very useful. It supports five browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, 360 Speed ​​and Web, and can completely replace the original browser start page.

Good things are meant to be shared, and Shichao is someone who never hides things. So today I recommend this iTab new tab page to all my friends~

After downloading the plug-in, your browser start page will become similar to the iOS desktop, where you can bookmark URLs, provide a variety of widgets, and all support customization.

This start page is like a treasure box that aggregates various functions. However, since the iTab new tab page plug-in has not been developed for a long time, it is still lacking in functions.

Currently, the built-in widget includes weather. After you add weather on the start page, the weather conditions of the day will be displayed. You can get the weather for the past week with one click, and you can also search by region.

There is also an aggregate hot search widget, which brings together today's hot search content from websites in various fields. It can capture today's most popular content. This widget is very convenient for Shichao.

There is also a calendar, which, when clicked, will display relevant information such as holidays, lunar calendar, and zodiac signs.

Finally, there is a useful feature: you can add date countdowns, anniversaries, and memos.

This plug-in also comes with its own assembly mall, and everyone can choose to add the tools they want.

The developer also said in his video on Bilibili: If anyone wants to add any useful gadgets, please leave a message to tell him.

As the start page of a browser, it also has a very important function, which is to help everyone organize your website.

What’s more considerate about iTab’s new tab page is that it allows you to organize websites according to their types on a separate page, for example, you can organize websites according to the “mocking” category.

Or you can put some commonly used websites in the category of "Programmer Work", and use the "fruity" rounded icons in a unified visual way.

Everyone can easily find these organized websites, just like opening an iPhone app.

iTab's new tab page has a built-in site search, which basically includes the URLs that are commonly used by everyone, and provides detailed introductions and icon adaptations. You just need to add it~

This start page also has a search widget with built-in common search engines such as Baidu, Google, Bing, etc. Just click to select it and enter the content you need to search for to jump directly.

After downloading the plug-in, you can customize your own start page, change the wallpaper to a nice one, and set the icon's corner radius, size, line spacing, etc. in the settings bar.

The above are the basic functions of the iTab new tab plug-in. Overall, the experience is good.

But after all, this thing was made by a front-end programmer who spent 400 hours working on it alone. It is still slightly lacking in comprehensive functionality. The only small tools that can be used are those introduced by Shichao, and I believe that more will be added in the future.

What Shichao feels most attentive is that although this is a small plug-in that is completely "powered by love", the developer very attentively responds to every user's evaluation of this plug-in.

He also stated in his autobiography that the reason for making this plug-in was that he could not find a good browser start page, so he made the iTab new tab page gadget according to his own needs.

He also said that everyone actually has the desire to create. Some people choose to write; some people choose to make videos, and as a programmer, he chooses to use code to express his creative desire.

This is probably the romance of a programmer. Friends who are interested can download it directly from my website.
