BitTab: Bitcoin New Tab Page Extension

BitTab is an extension for Google Chrome that shows the current price of Bitcoin on every new tab.

Choose from multiple themes: beautiful background images from Unsplash, a soothing blue gradient, and a minimalist black theme.

Set four \"hidden\" shortcuts that can be accessed by clicking the four quadrants of the New Tab page.

Choose from 169 different currencies. (You will surely be the life of the party if you know the price of Bitcoin in the Zambian kwacha.)

Do quick price checks by clicking the BitTab icon in your toolbar.

It's also responsive – meaning it resizes nicely to fit any screen size. I like to leave the price open in a small window while I work. I made sure it looks good for people who want to do this too.

BitTab is open source software: view the source (and more details) on github.com/zvphy/BitTab
