I'm using Momentum[0], which has my ad hoc todo-list, beautiful scenery images, inspirational quotes and weather.<p>I also like how it says "Good morning/afternoon/day/evening Hamatti". Makes me feel good.<p>Its todo list is not my main list (I use pen and paper for that) but I use it as an addition every now and then.<p>[0] <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/momentum/laookkfknpbbblfpciffpaejjkokdgca?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/momentum/laookkfkn...</a>
Google Art Project, which makes the wallpaper for new tabs into a work of fine art from Google's library of museum scans.<p><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-art-project/akimgimeeoiognljlfchpbkpfbmeapkh?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-art-project...</a>
I use an extension that is called "Blank New Tab" and does exactly that. It's lovely.<p><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blank-new-tab/beafekehjfhnkpnnjegadfdncaipnljp" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/blank-new-tab/beaf...</a>
Along with New Tab iFrame[0], I use TabTerm[1] for a terminal in the new tab page.<p>[0] <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-iframe/pjjgnpjhedgolccfdplecmnapdjhlknm" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-iframe/pjj...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/tabterm/tabterm" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/tabterm/tabterm</a>
I enjoy Surge[0] which automatically picks high-ranking backgrounds from /r/wallpapers and includes a nice time/weather feature. When I'm not on Chrome, I usually use Ricain's OwnPage[1]<p>[0] <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/surge-material-new-tab/fimecghnlpkdjcjhpaemckklaimbafae" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/surge-material-new...</a>

I was using Panda new tab extension (<a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/panda-5-news-inspiration/haafibkemckmbknhfkiiniobjpgkebko?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/panda-5-news-inspi...</a>) earlier but it was more of a distraction than being helpful. I'm on chrome's default new tab page now.
I've been using New Tab Draft for a while. It's pretty minimalist, just a blank page (colours configurable) that I can make some notes on it I want to.<p><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-draft/nmfjkeiebceinkbggliapgfdjphocpdh?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/new-tab-draft/nmfj...</a>
An extension called Currently that shows the current time and weather. Pretty minimalist and I like being reminded of life outside the 4 walls of my office.<p><a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/currently/ojhmphdkpgbibohbnpbfiefkgieacjmh?hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/currently/ojhmphdk...</a>
I'm using this chrome plugin:

I make it blank black for when I want a black screen.<p><pre><code> body:empty {
background: black !Important;
margin: 0 !important;
}
</code></pre>
(the ":empty" is important to keep iframes without set background white)
Unsplash Instant[0] is my favorite. It shows a new background from Unslpash for every tab.<p>[0] <a href="https://instant.unsplash.com/" rel="nofollow">https://instant.unsplash.com/</a>
I use the planet labs images plugging (on mobile, so can't look up exact link). It shows satellite imagery from their dataset of interesting places. I highly recommend it.
i use cow tab <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cow-tab/iecanhcmkngjdhpgnaijdcfnhpjdjffc" rel="nofollow">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cow-tab/iecanhcmkn...</a>
