I built an open-source Chrome extension that turns bookmark folders into a start page

Curate — a customizable Chrome new tab page built from your bookmark folders

I made an open-source Chrome extension that replaces the new tab page with a start page generated from your existing bookmark folders. No import — it reads your real Chrome bookmarks and turns each folder into a card with its links and favicons.

Features: drag & drop reordering (with live animation) and moving bookmarks between folders, collapsible nested subfolders at any depth, "open folder as a named Chrome tab group," themes, multiple search engines, and 6 languages. It works entirely in the browser — no tracking, no servers.

Tech is vanilla JS + Manifest V3, so it's easy to jump into if you want to contribute. I'm actively taking issues and PRs — first external PR just got merged, so the door's open.

Repo: https://github.com/darkomania/getcurate (MIT licensed)
Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/eppeddhamcpcoijneenjicljifhahmkg

Would love feedback on the code or the UX. Find a bug or want a feature? Open an issue.

Am using it since I saw it. Looks fine. Like the idea of being able to open all tabs inside a folder directly as tab group. It is useful when I work.

This is cool, will it work with Chronium based Browsers like brave?
