Panorama Tab for Chrome

When it comes to New Tab extensions, there are a plethora of options out there for all sorts of tastes and browsers.

You can choose a hum-drum new tab tool that simply provides you with a new background or a motivational quote each time you open it, you can opt for something more productivity-focused, or something in-between like Panorama Tab.

Developed by a passionate part game developer, part visual designer Lukas Nabholz, Panorama Tab is a cross-browser new tab extension (available for Chrome, Firefox, and Waterfox) that provides a simple set of features.

Here's what you get with Panorama Tab for Chrome: current weather information, a customizable search bar (you can choose between various search engines), quick access to your top 10 most visited websites, and the latest 40+ Reddit posts from your favorite subreddits.

Of course, the extension also provides you with a new stylish background each day courtesy of Unsplash. One of the best features of Panorama Tab is its customizability.

For example, you can choose which feature you want or don't want to use. You can disable the weather information, the most visited sites, you can opt to show or hide the background image, and even hide the search bar and the displayed Reddit posts.

You can select one of the four default search engines: Google, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Wikipedia. Last but not least, you can choose the exact category from Unsplash so that your backgrounds will never feel out of place.

Taking everything into account, Panorama Tab is a fine example of a New Tab extension. It works on all browsers, it's remarkably easy to use and, best of all, you can pretty much customize what features you want and don't want so that it perfectly meets your needs and requirements.
