About the Developer
I am currently learning Japanese and wanted this extension to exist so I decided to make it myself. Big thanks to Michelle Gao for her design advice.

UPDATES
v. 1.0.3 – You can now disable top visited sites! Click on the hide/show icon on the bottom left of the screen.
v. 1.0.4 – Audio button integration. You can learn the pronunciation by hearing! Click on the audio button next to the kanji.
v. 1.0.5 – Switched the positions of hiragana and kanji so hiragana is more in focus.
v. 1.0.6 – Increased word collection from 1812 to 23000+. You can now select whether kanji or hiragana is bigger as well as be able to hide the romaji. Click on the Menu button on the top left.
Really like the idea. I get “undefined” printed for the Kanji a lot though.
With latest update its great!
Great idea but just one thing: in my opinion you need to be able to turn the romaji off for this to be of any use. I really hope the option gets implemented in the future. In the meantime, I believe in the project so you have my money 🙂
I do like the passive learning it gives but atm for me the audio does not work. Could you please check that? With out that i really can not give you a higher rating
You have problems, you can not play the audio to hear how it sounds
Works great, and its open source!
It’s really a neat idea to utilize otherwise blank area on the new tab, the colors are nice also. Wish that in the future there would be an option to change/disable the quick website links.
For anyone else obsessed with jdramas (currently in love with Kazoku Game) this extension is the perfect way to learn japanese! The pastel colours are so cute and brighten up my laptop screen with every new tab 🙂
what a cool way to learn japanese! it’s really pretty, and doesn’t feel out of place at all on a new tabs page. a great way to expand your vocabulary on a daily basis.
