Of course, you can customize these widgets. Sometimes if you just want to see a wallpaper on new tab, there is a wallpaper mode that hide all elements on the page and only show the wallpaper and a toggle button.

Version 8.0.0 (March 2023) Updates: • Remove weather widget. • Remove Chrome Apps related functions. • Upgrade to Chrome Manifest V3.

Quick Search You can use keyboard shortcuts to search for bookmarks, history, opened tabs and downloaded files, similar to Alfred.
Home Panel Home panel contains many versatile widgets(cards), like clock, calendar, recently closed tabs. You can add/remove widgets, drag and drop widget to a new position, change widget's title and color.

new tab page with every widget you need. I just dont liked some things, the very visible history icon, where you can click and see the recent visits. could have more personalizing options for the navbar (hide the history icon, devices and downloads)

Dang. I have loved this extension for years! But as of last week, this extension no longer works. Hopefully it gets updated soon - at which point, I will change my rating back to 5 stars =D
