Random Colored New Tab Extension

The name says it all!

When installed and enabled, new tabs display a blank page with a random background color instead of the usual new tab page with the default look and feel.

The extension is fairly simple and does not access any personal data or cookies on your browser.

Greg Zeng (ID: 000000399a4c10c4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 12/28/2018 Works, but stops SIMPLE SPEED DIAL from working.

Bronwyn Green (ID: 000000e7393df0af) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/04/2018 Does what it says on the box. I would like an extension where you could choose a favourite colour to stay on, though.

William Geary Jr. (ID: 000000b883dfadbd) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/06/2017 For this to work properly, the TABS need to be colored, not just the newer page opened. Close, but no cigar for this one.
