Google Chrome Extension: Homescreen
I wrote a small and simple extension for the Google Browser Chrome.
Basically the extension overwrites the “New Tab”-Page and displays a slight homescreen with your lately closed tabs and some favorite pages.
Of course I know that there are similar extensions, that do exactly the same thing. I used to use those, but I didn’t come across a single one that had a great design.
So after stumbling about a design idea of chancellorr from deviantart I decided to write a simple extension. I redid many of his graphics (because of support for higher screen resolutions) and tweaked some things around.
The extension is licensed under MIT and the code is freely available at my github account.
You can install the extension from the Google Gallery.
