🌄 Theme background
When Clear New Tab is installed and "Theme background" mode is selected, the backgrounds of themes you install from the Chrome Web Store will automatically download and appear in the new tab. If the theme background appears too large or small, you can fix it by setting "Background size" to "Cover the screen."
🖼️ Your own background
Upload your own background (image, GIF, or video) or choose a custom color to display in the new tab page.
🔁 Cycle through different backgrounds
Clear New Tab can cycle through your backgrounds, showing a different one each time you open a new tab.
🎨 Random solid color
Display a randomly generated solid color background each time you open a new tab.
📅 Schedule a background
In "Scheduled" mode, Clear New Tab lets you display specific backgrounds at the dates and times you choose.

❓ FAQ
There's no search bar. How do I search the web?
Use the address bar for web searches.
The bookmarks bar doesn't show 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, Chrome automatically hides the bookmarks bar. To make it always visible, press Ctrl + Shift + B.
How can I eliminate the "white flash" before a background loads?
Adjust the "Color of the area around the background" setting. Ensure that "Settings context" is set to "Global."
The theme background doesn't fit the screen. How do I fix it?
Select "Cover the screen" or "Fit to the browser window" in the "Background size" dropdown.
Custom HTML links aren't working. How do I fix them?
Add target="_top" to the <a> tag. Example:
<a href="https://www.microsoft.com"; target="_top">Microsoft</a>

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

- (2021-09-05) Squishy_ Thc: works amazing, does exactly as it says:)

- (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
