Changes your new tab page to a minimalistic page. Just a simple clock, random nature background and random quote. And the best part, it is completely open source.

Please visit this website to see the live demo: https://opensourcesimon.github.io/QuoteTab/. The demo also includes a change of the quote and background on every refresh!
- For so far only tested on Chrome and Edge. Firefox manifest is not yet added. If you want to use it on Firefox, please use an extension that allows you to change the new tab page to a custom URL. (I recommend this one)
- Clone this repository
- Go to
chrome://extensions/ - Enable Developer Mode and click Load unpacked extension button and upload the folder
- Enjoy!
This extension uses Quotable to get random quotes. It is a free API that is open source!
In its current state, this extension does exactly what it needs to do. However, improvements can always be made!
I have tried to simplify the code so anyone can read it and start contributing at any skill level. Don't be shy :) contribute!
