Attribution

Yako is a modified version of Bonjourr, an open source new tab browser extension created by Victor Azevedo and Tahoe Beetschen. The original source code is available at github.com/victrme/Bonjourr.

This project removes Bonjourr's external API dependencies (weather, dynamic backgrounds, quotes, web fonts) and replaces the search bar with a Microsoft portal search powered by locally cached data from merill/cmd and msportals.io.
