Extension summary

This extension brings an all new exprience to your Chrome New Tab Page with rich information that the inbuilt one should have provided. Weather for your location, Bookmarks, and Recent visits, all are displayed in Material Design cards and ready when you open any new tabs. You don't have to go through many menu items to find a bookmark, or press key combination to open your history page. They are right there when Chrome launches or a new tab is created.

Want more control? Visit Settings to change temperature unit to Farenheit or use a random background from Unsplash.

NOTES:

  1. The extension needs your location and uses cookies to request and save weather info. That's all. It does not collect any personal data of yours.
  2. Dark mode is only supported in Chrome 75 and later on Windows 10 May 2019 and macOS Mojave onwards.

User reviews

Great extension! I love the simplicity and flow of it. One thing I wish I could do was edit the links or a block of links, rather than have them be static. (I think I also found a bug where it didn't round the wind speed and instead it went out 15 decimals, but that's a non issue and doesn't affect my rating)

Cute, but a bit too minimal. I cant see bookmarks bar folders like normal NTP

I absolutely love the fact that you don't see the bookmarks bar when opening a new tab, but unfortunately the extension should allow for you to have any other main page as a new tab. Terrible idea to show your history too...
