Extetnion is great! If your background image dissapear or go black you need to change 1 setting. Open that URL in Chrome chrome://flags/#enable-desktop-pwas-app-home-page and setting the option to "Disabled".

Very good!

Braucht nur eine Berechtigung (Genau um die neue Tab Seite zu ändern) und macht genau das. Keine Werbung und sonst was.
