just get a better new tab page: https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

I last post this back in 2021 when I started development -- nothing like google enforcing all extensions to migrate to manifest v3 to refactor the whole codebase for b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶e̶f̶f̶i̶c̶i̶e̶n̶c̶y̶,̶ ̶p̶r̶i̶v̶a̶c̶y̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶s̶e̶c̶u̶r̶i̶t̶y̶ no reason! All jokes aside, if you're looking for a fast, open source new tab page that gives you instant access to all your bookmarks in a visually organized way, please check it out! Compared to other speed dials, YASD: - automatically fetches thumbnails using the open graph standard - makes use of native bookmarks under the hood so your data is not locked into the extension - supports sorting, searching, and folders - contains no ads, trackers, premium subscriptions. it aims to do one thing and do it well - available for Brave, Chrome, Edge and Firefox (including Android) What should be added ne

nice, is it open source? this is the one i use for those who like having bookmarks on their new tab page: https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

when i open a new tab its often to open a bookmark - so for me a speed dial is super useful. here's mine (open source): https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

to offer an opposing view: libraries are cool. i frequently reference and revisit links i have saved, and on a rainy day a quick browse of them often inspires a new project or advances some existing work. i don't know what i would gain by blowing that all away. naturally links that are infrequently used settle to the bottom of the list and die anyway. i do manage my bookmarks visually, which i have found tremendously helpful since i first saw this functionality in opera years ago. its sort of like having album art. so here is a shameless plug for my open source and cross browser implementation, yet another speed dial: https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

to help manage this i created a "speed dial" extension and use it basically as a visual bookmark manager. the advantage to tabs in a list is that they are easy to reference visually, and like any bookmark can be sorted and arranged into folders. for example i have one for technical references, various research topics, etc that i plan to come back to. and its easy to pop one off the list to maintain them. check it out if youre curious, its open source! https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

ill add a couple: yet another speed dial: https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial buster captcha solver: https://github.com/dessant/buster

yet another speed dial (thats the name): https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

because 75% of them are probably dead links now ;-) but all the major browsers have sync. you can export them from chrome and import them into brave and btw if you use a lot of bookmarks (i do too) you might love this graphical bookmark manager YASD - you can browse bookmarks as thumbnail images of the site -- much easier to browse them for the link you want): https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

You can check out mine, Yet Another Speed Dial, on GitHub! It's a web extension in vanilla JS: https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

Show HN: Yet Another Speed Dial - An open source new tab page I made an open source, cross-browser new tab page inspired by the Speed Dial in Opera. It also works great as a bookmarks manager because it gives you visual thumbnails for bookmarks instead of just a list. When you bookmark a site, just choose the Speed Dial folder (or one of its subfolders) and you'll automatically get a screenshot, favicon, or open graph image as a thubmnail. They can be sorted easily with drag and drop, and since they are just bookmarks under the hood you don't need to worry about the extension locking you in. If you're like me and still use lots of bookmarks, give it a try. Happy to hear your feedback HN! https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

that's the inspiration for my browser extension, Yet Another Speed Dial. it works as the new tab page but basically i use it as a visual bookmark manager. i find it way easier to scan my bookmarks as thumbnails to find what i want. it's open source and supports all the major browsers, check it out! https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

i'm working on this as a browser extension. to get my feet wet i created Yet Another Speed Dial (https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial) which many people find useful, but the end goal is to apply the same kind of richness to all bookmarks and history

with thumbnails! i can quickly "see" what the bookmark is about better than i can tag it. and thumb images are automatic while tags require effort. generally this and chronological sort gets me by. check out my speed dial extension for ff, its open source of course, please feel free to comment to contribute! https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial
