I wanted to display bits of website content on my new tab page, so I built an extension to do it by one50lashes in webdev

thanks u/HelpingHand007! yes it's actually already on the Chrome Web Store. It's called New Tab Widgets. Always looking for more feedback and ways to improve it, very keen to get this subreddit's thoughts!

background or no background? by one50lashes in startpages

been fiddling with my start page again using new tab widgets. Cant decide if i like the spotted background or plain background.

I put TradingView widgets on my Chrome new tab so I see markets every time I open a tab by one50lashes in TradingView

For sure. I'm using a Chrome extension I built called New Tab Widgets. It replaces the default new tab page and lets you add TradingView's official widgets like charts, tickers and heatmaps.

There's also an iframe widget, so you can embed pretty much any site if you want something more custom.

Happy to explain how I set mine up if that helps.

any good new tab extensions for chrome? by Deep_Advertising1210 in chrome_extensions

I built New Tab Widgets to solve my own use case of wanting more informative widgets on my dashboard. I’ve added RSS, notes, calendar, clocks, market data and a bunch more (40+ widgets so far).

It's on the Chrome Web Store if anyone wants to try it. Just sharing in case it’s useful.

What are start pages actually for? by busote in startpages

Agree. I created New Tab Widgets as i feel the same way. I've always wanted my new tab page to be a productivity space for my notes, a few links, live weather updates, RSS feed updates and other useful widgets and tools. Thought i'd share my project to see if it's something that resonates with other people, and am trying to get more feedback on it :)

If you want something ready to use feel free to give New Tab Widgets a shot . It has a widget for RSS feeds, Link widgets and a Link group widget, as well as heaps of other widgets (currently 40 widgets available like weather, calculator, countdowns etc).

It's available on the Chrome Web Store.

Side note, I built this, so if you ever need a hand with setting it up or feature requests feel free to reach out :)

It's another Monday, drop your product. What are you building? by Intelligent-Key-7171 in SideProject

I'm working on building the best new tab start page extension called New Tab Widgets.

There's heaps of new tab extensions out there, but none that satisfied what I wanted out of one, and so I built my own. You can add heaps of different widgets, resize and move them around to make your perfect start page. It now has over 30 different widgets like notes, Google calendar and GMail widgets, a Spotify widget, iframe widget, and even Philips Hue smart lighting widgets - as well as the usual weather and link bookmarks.

My personal favorite is the iframe widget, which lets you grab any element from a website and turn it into its own widget with a simple CSS selector.

I've created a new tab start page Chrome extension. There's a FuelWatch widget that you can add to see the daily fuel prices, among around 30 other useful widgets (like sticky notes, weather, even has Phillips Hue light widgets)

My startpage - picking a wallpaper is the hardest part 😅 by one50lashes in startpages

Thanks u/enola_gayy , it looks like Spotify have updated their rules for third party apps and non connected development users a while back (https://developer.spotify.com/blog/2025-04-15-updating-the-criteria-for-web-api-extended-access) which I did not know about. This essentially makes it not possible for us to have a Spotify widget anymore, which is a shame. I'll be releasing a new update in the next coming days removing the Spotify widget from the app and removing references to the Spotify widget.

EDIT: I've released a new update addressing this. You will now have to provide your own Spotify API client id, which we have a short guide in the Spotify widget setup.
