New Tab Todo List Chrome extension

New Tab Todo List replaces Chrome's default new tab page with a checklist, notes area, or outliner that you can share and collaborate on in real time. It's best for people who want their task list visible every time they open a tab. The catch: replacing the new tab page means giving up whatever default page or extension you used before.

What New Tab Todo List does

New Tab Todo List replaces Chrome's default new tab page with a task list, notes area, or outliner. Every time you open a new tab, you see your current list instead of the usual shortcuts screen, and you can share the page so others can view or edit it with you in real time.

Is New Tab Todo List safe?

The extension needs permission to override the new tab page, which is standard for this type of tool. Sharing and collaboration features mean your list content may be stored so it can sync between people or devices; check the extension's settings if you want to keep lists private.
