Tabliss - New Tab by tabliss.io
Review by Ensign Epic
Rated 3 out of 5
by Ensign Epic, 5 years agoGotta say, it is really nice to open a new tab and see a random landscape, and the different widgets all have a ton of utility. The app has such amazing potential but it's held back by a ton of little bugs & its lack of some features.
To start with, the widgets are not drag and drop while editing; you click a button and it gets sent to that part of the screen. This would not be an issue if the text of certain widgets did not overlap due to apparent bounding issues. Instead of using the open space below it, text blocks lines will run an indeterminate amount before a line break. Another issue is that certain widgets are lacking features one would consider rather important. As a quick example, the Quotes widget doesn't let you choose how often they update, just the types of quotes. Another is the inability to choose which provider is used in the search bar. The final issue is that this lacks an "article" widget, for example, like the default home page's Pocket, which sorta stinks because it was always cool seeing what random articles they had to read.
I want this to be a 5 star app, it can EASILY get there as the state of the app suggests many of these are readily implemented. But there's so much suck left in this extension before it gets there, I gotta go with the 3 star for now. Looking forward to the day I can fully retire the default Firefox home screen for this.

- Rated 1 out of 5by LaPalona, 19 days agoThe most sleek and clean new-tab extension you can find. Sadly not maintained anymore, what is a dealbreaker for me. If you want to check out the extensions install TABLISS-NG instead. It's actively maintained and has new features not present in the original extension. Plus bugs have been solved :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Michail, 20 days agoSuggestion for dark mode users using #000000 wallpapers
kindly consider making the settings gear icon of customizable color, it hurts eyes to see a full dark mode with white icon
It's a functional new tab page, featuring wallpaper addition, time and weather with customizable color and size and position. - Rated 5 out of 5by Leviii, 23 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by FoxFire, 2 months agoBefore discovering this extension, I had been searching for a customizable new tab extension that first of all would give users the ability to set their own favorite shortcuts. I had tried all or else almost every new tab extension but none of them met my requirements and expectations sufficiently enough. One extension called 'Fluent New Tab' came very close to all that I was seeking for, but besides missing the ability to set its extension as default Homepage, it also missed other desired things that I eventually found at Tabliss, even doing most similar things better.
My impression of Tabliss has exceeded my impression of 'Fluent New Tab' enormously, and therefore also earned my donation and this 5-star rating with positive feedback that followed wholeheartedly well-deserved.
The Tabliss extension is truly more awesome and has replaced my 'Fluent New Tab' extension to become my new default Homepage and New Tab page extension on my browser. - Rated 5 out of 5by not a knight, 2 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Neonate, 5 months agoAbsolutely beautiful modern interface. Very pleased with the different widgets. VERY surprised at how well the search feature works for backgrounds! It's great that I can save the background image to my computer, too! Excellent work, devs! You get a contribution for sure, and I've never done that before.

- Rated 5 out of 5by woam, 7 months agoExcellent extension, unfortunately abandoned. Fortunately, its fork TablissNG improves it even further.
- Rated 2 out of 5by GravityPopsicle, 7 months agoWhile a great extension, it is now abandoned and outdated.
It's newer and more up to date fork TablissNG actually accomplishes all the features this extension promises unlike some of them being broken/defunct in this extension and also adding many new welcome additions.
While also offering major quality-of-life improvements like a dark mode, and the ability to customise widget position to anywhere on the page just to name a couple.
Please, give the "TablissNG" extension a try, simply export your preferences from this extension and import them into that one. It's that easy :3
