A friend and I made an alternative to Firefox's about:newtab. It also works in Chrome, too.

It comes with the pic of konata but you can remove it. Also you can just get a really basic version from my friend's github. The background comes with an .xcf if you want to change it (why would you?)

I'm actually not sure why anyone would use it, it's not as friendly as about:newtab at all since you have to manually put links and screenshot in the code. But it's fun to hack if you know JavaScript.
