About New Tab. New Fact.

This Chrome extension displays a random "Today I Learned" (TIL) fact from the popular social news aggregation website, Reddit, every time a new tab is opened in Chrome. The TIL fact is displayed in a box in the center of the page, and if the original Reddit post has an associated image, that image is used as the background image for the new tab page.
