en I needed this to get rid of the wallpaper that came with the theme, which I installed for tab and top bar colors. Unfortunately this extension also removes bookmarks bar from new tab, and I need the bar only on new tabs, so this extension isn't a good fit for me.

en - 5 mb isn't much for a PNG - It removes buttons from the new tab, so you can't just click on usual websites you go to from New Page with this extension.

It allows you to add a wallpaper to chrome it also removes the Dreaded Google Doodle, which is a plus, however googles normal search bar disappears so you have to use the search bar at the top of the page instead.

It's fantastic. I need this only because I don't want my chrome search bar o my screen. But one quick question: does my wallpaper images seriously need a url that is like 5000 letters? I don't get it!
