Love this extension, but I would like the tab name "New tab" instead of "Surge" | |

Good configuration options but I would however like a method to change the new tab name from "Surge" | |

1/18 I'm having so much problems with this and just a couple tweaks would make it better! first of all the reddit option for pictues is horrible 1) it won't rotate.. it's been stuck on one pic for 2 days now 2) when it was working and rotating, the pics on that site are utter crap.. and i've done an extensive search for reddit wallpaper.. they are pretty bad - Our other option is to use a pic url - but ppl don't want us drawing traffic to their site just so we can use their url to show a pic on surge.. please give us an option to simply upload a pic from our files - if i'm going to be stuck with just one pic i'd like it to be one of my choosing Old review: Doesn't work well. No rotating pics, u have to pick one and stay with it. It will NOT accurately show my weather no matter how many times i try and reset it - it's 26 degrees off! Also not easy to setup- i had to dump it and re instal to try and get new settings I wanted.. not a good product at all - geeshe fix the weather, allow us to enter our zip code, make the edit page easier,, and if you could make it rotate pics it would be a much better app. i was using skyinc and loved it but their site suddenly went down today so i was trying something new.. i wouldn't even mind a small (small!) ad in the corner so the creator can profit off its downloads.. but overall this is not working.. | |

Possibly the best of the new tab extensions. It could be improved some, however: - The title of the new tab should be "New Tab" instead of "Surge." - Ability to set a background color instead of an image. For now, I just use a data URI of a pixel. - Show the weather forecast as is available through the OpenWeatherMap API. - Ability to lock the position of the clock. | |

Very nice extension. Thanks, guy. Just a quick question (if you read this:) : is there any chance to make it a default for the incognito mode? Checking the button on the setting on the Chrome extension page does't help ... | |

Perfect, this is what I was looking for. Simple, elegant, customisable and without useless clutter floating around the page. | |

One of the most elegant new tab extensions around. Love the minimalistic design. 'Apps' tab doesn't work on Chromebooks though. Would be perfect if you fix it :) | |

Does exactly what it says, looks great, and doesn't need a thousand permissions! Surprisingly good, and blows away the competition. |
