	Renewed Tab is a New Tab browser extension, focusing on rich widgets,
	a clean user experience, and customisation. It shows a beautiful background
	each time you open a new tab, randomly chosen from a large collection of
	high-quality photos.
</p>

<h2>About the Developer and Development</h2>
<p>
	Renewed Tab was created and developed by
	<a href="https://rubenwardy.com">Andrew "rubenwardy" Ward</a>, a software
	engineer from Bristol UK.
</p>
<p>
	rubenwardy created Renewed Tab after being disappointed with the existing
	options. They either had a bad user experience, none of the features he
	wanted, or they locked basic features behind a paywall.
	See <a href="/#features">features</a> for a list of key features.
	Read <a href="/blog/2022/07/21/why-I-created-renewed-tab/">the blog post</a>
	to find out more.
</p>
<p>
	Renewed Tab was released as free and open source software under the GPLv3
	license, allowing anyone to
	<a href="https://gitlab.com/renewedtab/renewedtab/">see its code</a>,
	contribute to it, and create their own versions.
</p>
<p>
	Development is done publicly on GitLab, with the
	<a href="https://gitlab.com/renewedtab/renewedtab/-/boards">roadmap</a>
	fully visible.
	Whilst the development is primarily done on
	<a href="https://gitlab.com/renewedtab/renewedtab/">GitLab</a>, contributors
	can also submit issues and patches using
	<a href="https://gitlab.com/renewedtab/renewedtab/">GitHub</a> or by
	contacting rubenwardy.
</p>
<p>
	Renewed Tab supports French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese,
	Portuguese, Malay, and Turkish (Français, Español, Deutsch, Italiano,
	Русский, 汉语, Português, Bahasa Melayu, and Türkçe).
