It’s no secret that Google Chrome is the king of the browser kingdom – even though most of us have a love-hate relationship with it. Even though it uses more resources than any other web browser to operate swiftly, it is the browser of choice for millions. Although Chrome performs the function of connecting users to websites amazingly and performing a task while looking beautiful is something that everyone appreciates. While it doesn’t come with pre-loaded themes, it does come with tons of extensions that make up for it. Here are 3 awesome new tab extensions for Google Chrome to give your eyes a visual treat.
Currently
Currently is a simple extension for Chrome that replaces the new tab page with a big digital clock showing the current time, date, and weather (powered by Wunderground). It is customizable – you can select the background as well as the text color.
Currently is not unique, it just shows time and weather after all, but it presents it in a way that makes such a simple function look gorgeous.
Earth View from Google Earth
If you have ever tried Google Earth then you know it is amazing. Google has grabbed tons of awesome images of Earth with its satellites and Earth View from Google Earth selects the best ones and shows you every time you open a new tab. Along with the image, you’ll find the origin of that image. These images can be used as desktop backgrounds too.
Wallcat
Wallcat is as simple as an extension gets. Add it to the browser and you’ll get one high-definition image every day as wallpaper on your new tab page. It has 3 channels or categories for wallpapers – I recommend “Fresh Air” as I didn’t find others quite eye-catching, but you may like them. So, try on your own and decide the best one to get one awesome wallpaper every day. So what do you think of these gorgeous extensions that serve the sole purpose of making Chrome beautiful? Which one do you use?
