My personal "new tab" as a chrome extension

Motivation

I've been using NewTab-Redirect chrome extension to have a local html file open for new tabs in Brave Browser, but the extension seems a bit abandoned, and eventually stopped working altogether for local files.

Therefore I've converted my local new-tab.html file into an extension of its own, which I add to brave manually via "load unpacked" extension option in brave://extensions (developer mode needs to be enabled for this to work)

Usage

• Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/serpro69/serpro-new-tab.git
• Create data.json file and add your bookmarks to it (use sample-data.json as example)
• Open extensions: type brave://extensions/ in the address bar (or chrome://extensions/ if you're still using Chrome)
  • Enable developer mode
  • Click 'Load unpacked' and select the path to the cloned repo on your local machine
• Profit

To update simply run git pull in the repo. The browser should automatically use latest code, but you can also reload the extension manually from the extensions page.
