Clear New Tab

Remove everything from the new tab page and display any image, gif or video in it as a wallpaper.

What is Clear New Tab?

"Clear New Tab" is a Chrome extension designed to simplify your new tab page, stripping it down to a blank slate or a backdrop of your choice. It supports theme backgrounds from the Chrome Web Store, personal images, gifs, videos, or solid colors, and carries features to cycle through various backgrounds or display them on a schedule. Beyond aesthetics, it addresses common concerns by providing solutions to override the 'white flash' and ensures links can be fixed with HTML adjustments. However, the extension may be subject to Chrome's auto-management of data, such as removal due to lack of storage space. Users can find the source code on GitHub and connect via the developer's Facebook page.

★ Theme background When Clear New Tab is installed and the "Theme Background" mode is chosen, backgrounds of themes that you install in the Chrome Web Store will be automatically downloaded and appear in the new tab. If a theme background is too big or too small you can fix it (set "Background size" to "Cover the screen").

★ Your own background You can upload your own background (image, gif, video or solid color) as a background in the new tab page.

★ Cycle through different backgrounds You can make Clear New Tab cycle through your backgrounds, showing you different background every time you open a new tab.

★ Random solid color Clear New Tab can show you a randomly generated solid color background every time you open a new tab.

It worked for a while and then it just broke. I reinstalled it multiple times and nothing occurs. I can't even open the settings page.
