The News Tab is a sleek Chrome extension designed to replace your default new tab page with a customizable news feed experience. Inspired by Microsoft Edge's news tab but without ads or irrelevant articles, it lets you personalize the news you see by adding or removing RSS feeds, adjusting the number of articles displayed, and setting the news refresh interval. Features like dark mode and a changeable search bar enhance usability and style.

Future updates aim to introduce exciting tools like a weather app, clock, breaking news alerts, additional content tiles, and header images to enrich your browsing experience. This constantly evolving project welcomes user feedback to tailor features and keep you informed with the news that matters most.

Really like this News Tab extension. I can finally pick my own news websites and no longer have to look at unrelated ads! Can't wait to see what other improvements are made. Great Job!

Good, simple, effective new tab screen. Much better than the default and at least my page isn't polluted by ads like with Microsofts offering :D I'd like to be able to change the background colour though ;)
