Pinus Maximus v1.0.2
Pinus Maximus
Max out your pins
Pinus Maximus turns the browser’s new tab page into an organized workspace with screens, groups, folders, configurable search and AI chat services, icons, and backgrounds.
Pinus Maximus means “largest pine” or “giant pine.” The name is also a playful reference to getting the most out of pinning. The pine motif also shapes the extension’s color palette and visual atmosphere.
