Feature Summary

An option to change the new tab and home page URL.

The idea is that when you press the Home button (or create a new tab) the browser redirects to a custom URL (useful if you have a self-hosted Dashboard or maybe you want to set a webpage as your Home page)

Feature Research

This is already possible in a lot of Chromium-based web browser, a good example is Brave, which have the option to set a custom Home Page.

Kiwi Browser also has this option, but also adds the option to set a custom new tab URL.

Alternative Solution

No response

Target beneficiaries

This option is missing in a lot of Firefox-based browsers (as well as in Firefox itself), and is one of the main reasons I never switched to Firefox in Android.

On desktop, there is a hidden about:config variable to change this (browser.newtab.url) which is disabled by default but can be activated with custom scripts.

This is very useful feature and Waterfox did it, somehow differently.
Waterfox provides the option to set custom picture as homepage wallpaper.
