I love this extension, it is humbling to say the least to be reminded of our significant insignificance everytime I open a new tab! Thank you! |

This is my current favorite new tab extension. In addition to the beauty of the backgrounds it offers (continually updated by NASA), it has a surprising array of useful features, including functions that make perusing past offerings and marking favorites a breeze. I also like that once I've viewed the HD version of an image, that becomes the default new tab view (it seems to start with the low res). Indeed, easy access to HD and NASA's descriptive text without having to visit NASA's--sorry, NASA--ugly page are a couple of my other favorite features. |
