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!!!!
