Hoppscotch: Open-Source Alternative to Postman
Nowadays I am quite satisfied with the RESTer firefox addon: https://github.com/frigus02/RESTer. This does look neat but there is no explanation on how to install it locally, and telemetry is enabled by default.

Is there anyway to make the NightTab editor transparent?
Sorry, that is not possible at the moment. It's something I've thought about adding but the project is not in active development at the moment.

firefox minimal gruvbox theme using nighttab and simplefox theme
for the home screen : https://github.com/zombieFox/nightTab
- Currently on Firefox the menu only shows the default setup. Is there a way around this?

I made an add-on for Firefox that lets you cleanup the Unsplash site by removing the pay walled images from their new Unsplash+ service. Hope this helps a few people out there! 😊
I really like this. Definitely has the MacOS/Apple vibe going for it. I don't see it pulling me away from nightTab, just due to the shear amount of customization it offers, but if you added the ability to let users set their own image and/or icon for each link that would be nice!

NightTap Extension is Safe?
nightTab is safe. Iit has no access any of your personal data. You can confirm this by a number of ways: - It doesn't ask for any permissions - It is open source and anyone can see the source code - It is published on both the Chrome and Firefox extension stores, so has gone through the checks and reviews by each company. In fact, as part of Firefoxs review process their team requests a copy of the source code to look through. Happy to answer any other questions about my project.

Exporting to a different desktop
Hi, this is possible. You have to export your setup and move it to the other device to be imported there. More detailed steps are found here: https://github.com/zombieFox/nightTab/wiki/Data-backup-and-restore

Cannot import backups.
I'm unable to reproduce this issue. Can you open an issue on the GitHub repo? Please include lots of details about the browser version, OS, the backup file etc.

Bringing attention to the potential of Firefox’s customisation
There are generally 3 types of start pages ones that have add-ons, simple html sites ("demos") and self hosted start pages. Installing the add ons should be simple and can be applied to both your homepage/new tab.
