super cute and simple new tab extension, i saw this in a chrome theme repo on github and decided to give it a go and i love it!! only thing i'd ask for is the ability to put custom color codes, backgrounds and fonts as well as an option for a more detailed weather stack at the bottom thus far though i have been really enjoying this new tab extension!!!!

Very minimal for my computer. its is clustered and overwhelming which makes it perfect, also all the colors and setting surely make this one of the best
