★ 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.
★ Schedule a background
In the "Scheduled" mode, Clear New Tab will display a specific background(s) at the date and time you choose.

FAQ
There's no search bar. How to search the web?
You can search with the address bar.
There's no bookmarks bar in the new tab. Why does Clear New Tab hide it?
Clear New Tab doesn't hide it. If an extension replaces the default new tab page, Chrome will automatically hide the bookmarks bar in the new tab. There is no way to force it back unless you set the bookmarks bar to be always visible by hitting Ctrl + Shift + B.
How to eliminate "white flash" before a background is displayed when you open a new tab?
You can replace white to another color with the "Color of area around background" input. Make sure that "Settings context" is set to "Global".
Theme’s background doesn’t fit the screen, can I fix it?
Select "Cover the screen" or "Fit to the browser window" option in the "Background size" select.
Links added as custom HTML are not working. How to fix them?
Add target="_top" to the <a> tag.
Example:
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com"; target="_top">Link</a>

- (2023-03-04) HNGamer: 6/5 stars, this extension made the google logo on the homepage basically gone same for the search bar but sometimes if you don't have any bookmarks and when you get this extension then get a bookmark its not like in homepage like thing area under the URL it's instead under the three dots and at bookmarks which i dont really mind.

Great job on making this, it's very cool looking.
- (2022-08-19) Gain M: great!
- (2022-08-18) Thomas Anderson: Hello, It seems there's an issue with the addon lately, it keeps removing/deleting the image I use as default for a new tab and just leaves it blank. Reinstalling the addon didn't help, and most of the times I just have to re-add the image in the addon two times before it can actually load it. It seems it's encountering and error or some such issue. Any help would be appreciated.
- (2022-08-13) ethen price: not sure how it works but it just makes my backround plain white with no text and the settings page replaces my cursor with a bunch of blue curves anyone got a fix?
- (2022-07-15) M S: Oh! This extension is fantastic! No more cluttered background, and the extension's easy to use and I can change the image much as I want to. Yaaay to Clutter-Free life! Well done to you, developer/developers. Thank you.

- (2022-03-09) Yuseph Tohabath: Takes some time to learn how it works, but once you do it does a wonderful job with customization. If you like having widgets, this might not be for you, but if you want a simple color, image, video, etc. then this comes highly recommended.
- (2022-03-09) Sam Williford: I do like the app and how simple it is to navigate, what I love is the option to make one myself, I have always been a little OCD .when it comes to aesthetics
- (2022-03-02) KAILO: finally i can add Kpop wallpapers to my browser without icons getting in the way, 10/10

- (2021-10-13) Narimah SERAD: I didn't actually thought it'd be this great. I love how they allow you to put backgrounds as much as you want plus many more options. It's my first time giving feedback and ngl I had to bcs this is just too awesome:>> Thank you!<33
- (2021-09-05) Squishy_ Thc: works amazing, does exactly as it says:)
- (2021-08-30) Jim Obasa: Extension continually fails in the sense that when turning on the PC and logging in, what was saved in Clear New Tab has totally disappeared and has to be put back. Have had to do this literally a dozen times and so I am uninstalling "Clear New Tab"
- (2021-08-19) Vesela Georgieva: Loads blank page with lots of options for the background. Unfortunately, cannot find how to set it up to use google theme backgrounds. Anyways, does a great job
