FunFacts Extension

Get fun random facts about a wide variety of things including science, technology, history, culture, language, food, and way more! Every new tab you open will have a fun random fact with an accompanying image. ‘Learning something new every day’ is old school. Learn something new every time you open a new tab!
On each new tab, you will also get a Google search bar that will send your search straight to Google.
To get this extension, click on the button \"Add to Chrome\" on the upper right corner of this window. Chrome will automatically add and activate the FunFacts extension. You may receive a notification asking for some permissions. We will not collect any information about you, these permissions just allow your browser to use the extension correctly.

Ben (ID: 000000e8e236a254) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/29/2020 Neat app. No issues. Basically a better alternate version of the Win10 login screen background, because this app wants to tell you the information without making you click a link.
