Modern New Tab also offers a number of other customizations, such as allowing personalized icons for each website, your own background and selection of color themes. On top of looking great, it can also fetch RSS feeds from your favorite sites and show the latest news right on the tiles. This extension gives your new tab page a visual overhaul and lets you customize the websites you want to appear there. Love the look of Windows 8? Modern New Tab brings that to your browser complete with live tiles. This extension is all about simplicity and looking great, so it doesn’t do much more than that, but it does it incredibly well. You can customize the colors and enter a location manually, too. If you want something that’s a good combination of utility and visual appeal, Momentum is the perfect new tab extension.Ī fan of simplicity and flat design? Currently is perfect for you.Ĭurrently simply shows you the weather conditions where you are (it automatically guesses your location) and the current time.

Momentum also lets you hide the functionality you don’t want. You’re also able to search Google directly inside the new tab page, without having to actually leave. Not only do you get a beautiful picture that changes every day, you’re able to enter your focus for the day, get the latest weather, write a to-do list and view an inspirational quote.

Momentum puts a number of utilities right in your new tab page. Many of the images will have you wondering where they were shot, so Google’s put a clickable location on the lower right. My personal favorite tab extension at the moment, Earth View simply replaces the new tab page with a random satellite image of the globe from Google Earth.
