About New tab plainify

Chrome's 'new tab' screen is covered with a huge search bar and a bunch of shortcut icons that totally ruin the totally cool theme that you've selected for your browser. This extension replaces your 'new tab' screen with a single full page image. You can customize it to work seamlessly with your selected theme. Click on the extension after installing it for instructions on getting your theme's background for new tabs.
