Overview

Lead: Dan Mills (thunder)
Contributors: Aza Razkin (aza), Edward Lee (Mardak)

Description
Instead of a blank page, the new tab page should present useful task-centric navigation options based on the user's history.

Goals / Use Cases

  • be perceptibly as fast as about:blank to load
  • allow user to re-open previously closed tabs
  • offer navigation targets that are likely to be of use to the user
  • do not break the user's mental "flow" or otherwise interrupt a user task

Non Goals

  • act as a content aggregator for "new" material

Design

v0.0.1

* provide thumbnail links to commonly visited pages along the bottom of the page
* put links to recently closed tabs along the side of the page
* if there is content in the clipboard, provide a button to search for that content in the upper left of the page
* if there are RSS feeds on the commonly visited pages, show the most recent 3 stories for those above their thumbnails
