500px Extension: Enhance Chrome's New Tab with 500px Images

The '500px Chrome Extension' is an unofficial extension design to enhance your internet browsing. Upon opening a new tab, a random image from the 500px feeds appears, creating a visually appealing interface. The extension provides smooth performance by pre-fetching images and showcases image details through EXIF data display. Users can choose image streams like popular, editor's choice, upcoming, fresh, and can utilize a custom 500px consumer key for API calls. New updates allow easy navigation through icons and keyboard shortcuts.
