NelliTab - New Tab Page is a free Chrome add-on developed by Thomas Werner. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension aims to provide users with a new tab page that displays their bookmarks, top sites, history, and downloads in a visually appealing manner.

One of the standout features of NelliTab is that it does not rely on external services to display icons from websites. Instead, it utilizes cached icons offered by the sites that users visit. This approach ensures a faster loading time for the new tab page and eliminates any privacy concerns that may arise from using external services.

In addition to displaying web apps, bookmarks, top sites, history, and downloads, NelliTab offers various customization options. Users can upload their own icons and wallpaper, choose from light, dark, or custom themes, and customize settings such as icon size and border radius.

It's worth noting that NelliTab also supports experimental backdrop filters and does not collect or transmit any personally identifiable information about its users. The extension is available in English and German, with additional languages provided by the community, although they may be incomplete and unsupported.

Overall, NelliTab - New Tab Page provides a convenient and customizable way to access bookmarks, top sites, history, and downloads within the Chrome browser.
