##New tab page with powerful searchbar, bookmarks, weather, and nice image backgrounds which can replace your browser's adress bar completely.

Search bar is set to focus on page load.

In order to use the keyboard controls, you need to unfocus search bar - [TAB].

Each category is openable by keyboard and click, press escape to close all.

Click on city's name to get detailed weather information for your location from Yahoo! Weather.

Currently bookmarks are set to 'display: none' as I don't use them.

##Search bar

Search bar script from @WillEccles allows this start page work as a complete replacement to your browser's adress bar.

I've added search engines and removed stuff I don't use.

Type 'help' to get the list of commands and search engines.

##Examples:

  • 'search query' navigates you to duckduckgo's result page for your search query.
  • 'some.webpage.com', well, navigates to that webpage.
  • 'meta [search query]' searches metacritic.
  • 'yt [search query]' searches youtube.
  • 'reddit -r startpages' navigates to /r/startpages

##Contents:

##You need extensions for most browsers to use this as your new tab page:

~~BTW, it's super fast. DOMContentLoaded of ~225ms (~150ms as an extension!!) :D~~

Not so sure about that as it's now poorly hacked together, but hey, who cares since it works?

But yeah, for now the code is a mess.
