About Minimal New Page

8 years ago, I was looking for a minimal new tab extension and since I couldn't find it I built one myself. Many things have changed over the past 8 years and yet this simple little extension is still here, minding its own business, doing its job. This extension replaces your new tab with a dark page and a clock. Still has no options, no settings. Also no AI, which in 2025 is quite the rarity!
