Aww New Tab Extension

Welcome to Aww New Tab!

Aww New Tab is an exciting and fun alternative to your new tab here in Chrome. Built off of Giphy and Unsplash, you have the ability to choose between gifs or beautiful images!

For Giphy - input some of your favorite tags and get a random gif tagged that way. Whether it is kittens, corgis, space exploration, or The Office, every new tab will feature an exciting random gif!

For Unsplash - one of the largest free image resources on the internet, view a beautiful image on every new tab. Want to know more about the image? Click on the links in the bottom left for the author, location, or link to the image!

Features:
-Sharing, finally! In the top right corner, hover over the share icon to copy, download, or open in a new tab!
-Work mode: Boss about to walk by? About to give a presentation? Maybe enable work mode which will limit your new tab to just images from Unsplash

Chris Stout (ID: 00000091a030969f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/20/2015 Definitely spices up my new tabs. I used to just have a drab basic pattern with a search bar. Who even needs a search bar? Especially when I already know everything. Best way to view funny fails, falls, and slips while also seeing some trippy space cats. With how awesome I am, I don't have time to go out and actively look up this stuff so it's nice having it curated for me. A++!
