Memento mori Extension

Be reminded of just how short life is every time you open a new tab in Chrome.

This extension shows a life calendar as Chrome's new tab page. The life calendar is a grid of dots for every week of your life. As the weeks pass, each dot is changed to an X, giving you a visual representation of how much time is left to live.

Customise the calendar by configuring your date of birth, and life expectancy.

The latin phrase \"Memento mori\" means \"Remember you must die\". So don't waste your life browsing the Internet!
