New Tab for Chrome

— What does this extension do?
— It replaces Chrome's default New Tab page. Here is what you can do with it:

add widgets, such as shortcuts to your favorite sites, bookmarks and clocks;
move widgets around and resize them;
set background to one of Vlad.studio artworks;
enjoy!

Here is the short video:

— Is it free?
— The extension itself is 100% free forever. You may want to sign up (also free!) and unlock up to 7 Vlad.studio backgrounds of your choosing. At any time, you can buy premium account for unlimited access to all backgrounds, present and future.

— Is it safe?
— As safe as I could possibly imagine. All your data remains in your browser's local storage. The extension receives your account data from Vlad.studio website, but does not send anything back.

— What is Vlad.studio?
— Vladstudio is the project of digital artist Vlad Gerasimov. Since 1998, I've created 500+ digital art pieces, and from time to time I release apps like this one. Please see vlad.studio website for more.
