Basic New Tab: A Simple and Privacy-Focused Chrome Add-on

Basic New Tab is a minimalistic Chrome add-on developed by Steve-o Softworks. As the name suggests, it provides users with a basic new tab page that aims to be simple, lightweight, and privacy-focused. With a dark background and no unnecessary frills, this add-on offers a distraction-free experience.

One of the standout features of Basic New Tab is its ability to display the current time using only built-in JavaScript functionality. This means that it doesn't rely on external APIs or services, ensuring that your personal information is not shared or cached anywhere.

Unlike many other new tab pages that can be feature-rich, Basic New Tab focuses on being lightweight and compatible with VPNs. This makes it an excellent choice for users who value their privacy and want a seamless browsing experience while using a VPN.

Furthermore, Basic New Tab is not limited to Chrome alone. It also works on Firefox, allowing users of both browsers to enjoy its simplicity and privacy features.

If you're looking for a no-nonsense new tab page that respects your privacy and doesn't overload you with unnecessary features, Basic New Tab is worth giving a try.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
