The finance sites I use are noisy. Ads, popups, autoplay videos, sign-up prompts. I want to see my portfolio value and a couple of market indexes. That's it.
I built a cleaner version into my browser's new tab.
What Stock Market & Finance Dashboard does
Shows live stock quotes and financial news on every Firefox new tab. You add the tickers you care about. The extension shows current price, daily change, and percentage. Financial headlines refresh automatically.
No portfolio tracking in the cloud. No sign-in. No brokerage integration. Just prices and news.
Why the new tab is the right place for market data
You open new tabs throughout the day. If the market is open, you'll want to check it occasionally. Having the data there passively — without opening a dedicated tab, without loading a heavy finance site — means you're always roughly aware of where things stand.
The data trade-off
This is delayed data for some symbols, not level-2 real-time. For casual awareness — is my portfolio up or down today — it's entirely sufficient. For trading decisions, you need a proper trading platform.
That's intentional. This is a glanceable dashboard, not a trading terminal.
