Simple NTP Extension

This extension brings an all new exprience to your Chrome New Tab Page with rich information that the inbuilt one should have provided. Weather for your location, Bookmarks, and Recent visits, all are displayed in Material Design cards and ready when you open any new tabs. You don't have to go through many menu items to find a bookmark, or press key combination to open your history page. They are right there when Chrome launches or a new tab is created.

NOTES:
1. The extension needs your location and uses cookies to request and save weather info. That's all. It does not collect any personal data of yours.
2. Dark mode is only supported in Chrome 75 and later on Windows 10 May 2019 and macOS Mojave onwards.

Ray Foss, T&D (ID: 00000012a7c732a0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/21/2022 Cute, but a bit too minimal. I cant see bookmarks bar folders like normal NTP

Rafa RS (ID: 000000e0d6d48ef7) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/02/2020 I absolutely love the fact that you don't see the bookmarks bar when opening a new tab, but unfortunately the extension should allow for you to have any other main page as a new tab. Terrible idea to show your history too...
