Default etching glass ?

"tougher", hum, A worktop saver might be toughened glass as well, medium
risk of it just falling apart once you start to abrade one surface or at
some random time afterwards...

Probably better to get a couple of sheets of ordinary 6mm plate glass,
some mild abrasive (Vim etc has been mentioned) and water. Rounding the
edges or radusing the corners would probably be better done by a proper
glass merchant who may as well frost it as well.
