YuNi-tab is a browser extension that replaces the new tab page in Edge or Chrome with a custom styled search page. Its main feature is a search box designed to look like frosted, liquid glass, using a color-splitting visual filter, and it is surrounded by a rotating glowing border made of layered gradients that brightens when you hover over or focus on the search box. Typing in the box searches Bing directly, and as you type, it shows live search suggestions pulled from Bing through a background service worker that helps avoid browser cross-origin restrictions. The extension also supports video wallpapers in mp4 or webm format. It stores a library of these wallpapers locally in the browser using IndexedDB and automatically generates thumbnail previews for each one. A settings panel, opened from a gear icon in the corner, lets you turn the glass effect, glowing border, background, and other options on or off individually. There is also an idle hide feature: after a set number of seconds without activity, the search box fades out and reappears as soon as you move your mouse. To install it, you download the extension's zip file, open the extensions page in Edge or Chrome, turn on developer mode, and load the unpacked extension folder. It works on any Chromium based browser using the Manifest V3 extension format. The project's files include the extension's manifest, the new tab page's HTML and styling, the JavaScript handling search suggestions and settings, and the background service worker that proxies Bing requests. The project is released under the MIT license, meaning it can be freely modified or redistributed as long as the original author's copyright notice is kept. The README asks that it only be used for technical exchange and open-source learning, not for commercial or unlawful purposes, and includes optional donation addresses for supporting future development.
