BWNT - New Tab: Minimalistic Chrome Extension

BWNT - New Tab is a versatile Chrome extension that transforms your new tab page into a stunning, hyperminimalistic display. It includes features like a customizable clock (in both 12- and 24-hour formats), date display, and a variety of theme options including light, night, dark, material, and light-blue. In addition, users can personalize it by using a custom image as the background or rotating between light and night themes based on the time of day. Also, the project is open-source and can be found on GitHub.

ya this very good extension but one issue for me also have a chopice to removve time bar option also

Manan Kumar, 2022-02-15

it was fine till a while back, but now, it does not save my settings, keeps reverting to its default settings, and there is nothing i can do every time i close all new tabs and then open a tab, and this happens... i really like this extension, and there are none like it, giving the option to customize background is the reason i added this extension, if there is anything i can do to fix this, please do tell me (ps: i use brave, in case the browser is causing issues)

Good, would be perfect if there was automatic wallpaper scaling instead of just not applying wallpaper at all.
