WillowTab is a clean and elegant new tab extension for Chromium-based browsers. It provides a focused search entry, multi-engine search switching, light and dark themes, and personal appearance settings so every new tab feels quieter and more comfortable.
Use the centered search box to start searching quickly. WillowTab supports Google, Baidu, Bing, and DuckDuckGo, so you can choose the engine that fits your habits. You can also enable search suggestions to make keyword entry smoother.
Use a solid color background, import local images, or import a local folder. You can manage multiple wallpapers, choose one manually, or rotate them automatically. In wallpaper mode, WillowTab also adjusts text, controls, and the search surface to keep the interface readable.
Choose light mode, dark mode, or follow the system appearance so the page stays comfortable across different times of day and usage environments.
Adjust fonts, corner radius, shadow strength, settings button placement, and the browser tab title so the interface better matches your habits.
WillowTab does not collect, track, or sell personal data.
WillowTab is for people who want a new tab page that stays simple, beautiful, and efficient without adding distracting information.
