NewsTab Extension

Add news to your New Tab page

The extension uses the Google News RSS feed to get news from topics.
It also adds the current weather of the current location in the corner of the screen.
If there is an available google doodle of the current date from https://www.google.com/doodles, then It will use that as the logo instead of the google logo, similar to the google home page.
Search for a crypto currency and see the latest prices and news around it.
Clicking the blue plus button will allow you to add custom topics.

Default topics:
- Top News
- U.S.
- World
- Local Stories*
- Business
- Technology
- Entertainment
- Sports
- Science
- Health

*Local Stories uses your current location to determine a city and state for localized news.
