500NewTabs Extension

This open source extension shows awesome images in every new tab you will open from 500px.

Features:
- One out of 10 cached image is shown as new tab background image
- A new image will be downloaded from 500px if the image cache is older than x minutes (configurable update interval)
- Images are provided by my gallery or discovery mode
- Your name can be defined in options page
- Greetings can be hidden to have an even more clean UI
- Force cache update in options page
- Images in cache are only updated if new images are available
- Link to 500px.com to support the photographer

Here is a comparison with other extensions.

Moment:
- closed source
- many features and backend requests I don't need
- many more pictures
- payed mode

Google default page:
- many nice pictures
- overloaded (including search field I don't use)

Many other 500px extensions:
- none of them is working (for me)
- original extension is very slow (when loading the pictures with big watermark)
