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
