slow

HNTP recently has been extremely slow in finding URLs in Firefox. Used to be immediate; now takes 20 sec or so.

@mbkristal if you're still interested in this extension, could you please try this version in which i tried to make HNTP load faster?

https://github.com/TheBestPessimist/HumbleNewTabPage/archive/refs/heads/2026-01-14-14-25-18-i-am-speed.zip (it downloads a zip locally)
Full repo, if you want to check the code and changes: https://github.com/TheBestPessimist/HumbleNewTabPage

To install, you have to do the following:

1. export your current HNTP settings, and save them to a file
2. Via Ctrl Shift E Extensions tab: disable the current HNTP extension (the one from google chrome web store)
3. unzip my version
4. Via Ctrl Shift E Extensions tab: use 'Load Unpacked' and select the unzipped folder
5. Enable my version
6. Import the current HNTP settings that you exported before
7. Could you please test the speed and tell me if it's faster?

❗ DO NOT delete the unzipped folder, or else the extension will be deleted.
