Wanda (New Tab changer) Extension

The concept involves replacing the new tab page in a browser with a reminder that \"One day you'll die.\" This message could serve as a reflection on the fleeting nature of life, possibly encouraging users to make the most of their time, prioritize meaningful activities, or live more consciously.

A real-time counter or age calculator could be included to show the user's age, the passage of time, or other life-related metrics, reinforcing the message of mortality. The idea behind it seems to blend dark humor or existential thought with productivity or mindfulness.

This concept could either be a minimalist design with only text and basic information or a more interactive experience that continuously updates with personal data (like the user’s age) to drive the reminder further.
