pureTabs

A minimalist new tab extension that prioritizes your privacy and data sovereignty.

Privacy Policy

"Privacy by design. Data sovereignty by choice."

Zero Data Collection

This extension contains no tracking scripts, no analytics, and no advertising code.

Transparent Permissions

We only request the minimum permissions required for basic functionality (e.g., storage to save your icon layouts). We promise: past, present, and future, we will never integrate any third-party tracking scripts.

Data Sovereignty

All your data (icons, layouts, settings) exists only in two places: your local browser and your own Cloudflare D1 database. The developer has no access to your data; we don’t even know who is using the extension.


User Guide

1 Icons & Layout

  • Add Icons Click the Gear icon in the top-left (or top-right) corner to enter the Control Center. In the "Add" tab, you can create new icons with Auto-fetch or Custom design.
  • Edit Icons Right-click any existing icon on the home screen and select "Edit" to modify its name, link, or logo.
  • Layout & Background In the Control Center, you can precisely customize icon size, spacing, and grid layout. Supports uploading local wallpapers as your background.

2 Advanced Folder Operations
