Mist — Minimal New Tab EN

A calmer and faster way to start browsing

Mist replaces your Firefox new tab and home page with a lightweight, private and customizable dashboard. No account is required.

New in 1.17

• Mist Pro: a one-time €4.99 purchase that unlocks every Pro widget, now and in the future. License key only: no account, no subscription, and the same key works across your computers and browsers.
• Habit Tracker (Pro): daily checks, weekday schedules, streaks and a full year of history as a contribution grid, stored on your device.
• To-do (free): a local task list with editing, reordering and undo.
• Developer themes: Monokai, Dracula, Nord, Catppuccin Mocha and Catppuccin Latte.
• Widget glances: each widget shows one short value in a dock, a column or a board and opens on demand, so your wallpaper stays visible.

Main features

• Search with your default Firefox search engine
• Organize shortcuts into named local groups with drag and drop, optional custom icons and eight shortcut styles

Private by design

Mist contains no ads, analytics or accounts. Settings, To-do tasks, habits and Pomodoro data remain local.

Weather is optional and uses either a location you enter or an approximate IP-based city. Precise browser geolocation is never requested. Google favicons can be disabled; custom shortcut icons stay local.

Mist Pro is optional. Activating a key sends only the key to Mist's license endpoint, which checks it with Polar, the payment provider, and rechecks it every 30 days. No email, payment details or habit data are sent by the extension. Without Mist Pro, the Habit Tracker stays visible and exportable in read-only mode.

Market widgets send only the selected symbol to Mist's quote endpoint. RSS widgets contact only the exact HTTPS feed origin entered and approved by the user, omit credentials and referrer information, parse inert RSS or Atom data, and cache only the latest article locally.

Feedback is sent only when you submit it. Private appearance links include only reviewed visual settings, are not indexed and expire after 30 days.

Community wallpaper publishing is optional and requires confirmation that you have the right to share the image. A public submission contains the wallpaper, required title, optional description and optional nickname; without a nickname it appears as Anonymous. Image dimensions and size are detected automatically. Daily and weekly limits and duplicate detection reduce spam. Visitors can vote or report content. No shortcut, weather or browsing-history data is included.
