Fluent New Tab by Snow Mint

Welcome to Fluent New Tab
Fluent New Tab transforms your browser's default new tab into a clean, modern, and highly customizable dashboard inspired by Microsoft's Fluent Design System. Every element—from the search bar to the settings panel—is crafted to feel native to Windows 11, featuring smooth animations, Mica-style blur effects, and seamless dark/light mode integration.
