MyNewTabPage is a Chrome extension developed by trailjeep that allows users to override the default new tab page with a minimalistic design of customizable links and background image. This free extension is perfect for users who have a standard list of sites that they visit frequently and want a simple and attractive way to navigate to them.

One of the standout features of MyNewTabPage is the ability to cycle through background images from Unsplash.com. Users can configure a keyword to fetch relevant background images and choose a refresh rate of 15, 30, 45, or 60 seconds. For those who prefer manual control, there is also a refresh button available.

In addition to the customizable background, MyNewTabPage provides a search bar powered by DuckDuckGo.com, allowing users to quickly search the web without leaving their new tab page. The extension also displays the current date and time, keeping users informed at a glance.

To further personalize the new tab page, MyNewTabPage allows users to add or remove bookmarks, ensuring that only the most frequently visited websites are shown. Users can also choose from three ways to customize bookmark icons: scanning the website for pre-existing icons, selecting from the included icon library, or uploading their own custom icons.

Customization options can be accessed through the gear icon in the bottom left corner of the new tab page or by clicking the extension's icon next to the URL navbar and selecting "Options".

MyNewTabPage is built on the foundation of "Elemental New Tab" by Andrew McGrath, and its basic functionality is a testament to his work.
