One of the only reasons i got this extension was to have a clean view of my google calendar on the new tab page but the calendar widget shows that everything is happening the day before it shows on the google calendar. For example if i have an event on the 10th of october it'll show that its happening on the 9th of october. Everything else works nicely

Very helpful! Having so many widgets available is a dream. But unfortunately, there are a few organization and customization things I wish I could do. Manually changing the wallpaper, manually changing the weather location, or rearranging or adding new widgets would be awesome. This is so far the best new tab page i've found to suit my needs as a student for organizing.
