OreoSearch

OreoSearch is a simple home page for your basic non-ugly browser needs. Need your home page to sit flush with your top bar? I solved the issue!

Rewriting

This page will be rewritten from the ground up, using vue and some other libraries. Feedback is appreaciated, wait for all the features to roll out meanwhile.

This page was rewritten using vue and npm. Feedback is still appreciated as I start rolling out new features.

Compatibility

This rewriting is barely compatible with its vanilla js counterpart. To fix any issues, just reset your local (web) storage for the website.

How to reset local (web) storage

Go to dev tools (F12), go to the console and type "localStorage.clear()". Hit enter and reload the page. All done! Enjoy the smoother experience of Vue!

Installation

Firefox

Click the menu icon on the top right corner of Firefox, go to Settings, Home. Alternatively you can paste about:preferences#home in your URL bar.

Next you'll need to install New Tab Override and if a new tab doesn't open upon installing it, make one. The new tab will be the Add-On's settings page, by default it's set to custom URL so all you need to do is paste https://cakephone.github.io/OreoSearchPage/ in the URL field.

All done! Enjoy the search page!
