Extension summary

This extension replaces your New Tab page with a static picture of a smug red fox. There will only ever be one picture, and there will only ever be one 'Foxy New Tab' Chrome Extension... unless Google decides to break backwards compatibility someday, in which case there might be two such extensions, and there might be zero. Time will tell...

This upload primarily serves as a workaround for the new (and exceedingly myopic) "We don't like Extensions that aren't in the Store" policy that exists in the official Chrome browser for Windows. If you like it, great. If you don't, uninstall it and move on. In either case, good luck to you :)
