About nightTab
nightTab is an open-source repository for a customisable new-tab page, which the project describes as a neutral page accented with a chosen colour. Users can customise its layout, style, background and bookmarks. The project lists a local background image option and a background video or image option, along with backup and restore for settings and bookmarks. It can also be set as the Firefox homepage.
The project is distributed under the GPL-3.0 license and is aimed at people who want to modify or build it. The homepage excerpt does not state pricing or detailed browser support, and it lists privacy and cookie topics only as section headings without giving their details.
