Usage

Most browsers will require you to use extensions to set a custom startpage as your new tab page:

• New Tab Redirect for Chrome

If you want to use this startpage, be sure to personalize the links in variables.js to your liking. All editable data is stored in some arrays, so you can easily change links, quick search commands, colors, bacgrounds and fonts.
