This is an ancient repository for the original Just Search Portal. Find v2 here: https://github.com/larspontoppidan/just-search-portal2
The Just Search Portal is single file static HTML page that simply provides a search bar and buttons for submitting the query to search engines. The page is made with a focus on not distracting the user and on privacy. No ads or recent activity is shown like in many New Tab pages in modern browsers, and the search query is only sent to the chosen search engine.
Try it here: Just Search Portal.
