Wander-newtab
A browser new tab that rearranges saved bookmarks into an editorial collage. Each visit or shuffle brings familiar pages back in a new composition.

01
What it solves
Bookmarks often disappear after being saved. Wander-newtab turns the new tab into a lightweight rediscovery surface, bringing old references and saved links back into daily browsing.
02
How it works
The extension overrides Chrome New Tab and reads local Chrome bookmarks. On each load, it uses a strict geometric layout algorithm to arrange 6 cards from 12 grid options. Pressing Shuffle triggers a multi-stage physical animation (Cut, Deal, Settle) and transitions into a new typography and visual style based on one of the 26 available themes.
03
Privacy boundary
Bookmarks stay in your browser and are not uploaded. The extension requests bookmark and local storage permissions to read saved pages and remember theme preferences. It does not fetch page descriptions or record browsing history. The demo above uses sample content.
04
Installation
Download the ZIP, unzip it, open chrome://extensions/, enable Developer mode, choose Load unpacked, and select the unzipped folder. A regular ZIP cannot be installed directly as a Chrome extension.
