Looks cool! Any plan for Firefox? It supports WebExtensions now, though I don't know if there's binding for new tab pages.

I really really want to support Firefox, and there is a way to override new tab pages, but a work-around and not official (at least, that's my understanding).

I saw somewhere that official support should be coming in Firefox 57. I plan to implement as soon as it's available.

Why don't you just make this a web app that people can set as the start page on any browser?

That's actually a much better idea.

And a perfect use-case for Service Workers... even suitable for a Service Worker tutorial.

Wow, simplicity strikes again. So obvious, can't believe I overlooked it. Will do!
