Clock Extension

Replaces the page that appears when the user creates a new tab or window with the analogue or digital clock. You can also get to this page by entering the URL chrome://newtab

Day

Night

Dark theme

Options

The goal of this project is to replace useless newtab page with something boring and not ordinary, because usually when I open new tab I immediately type in omnybox instead of search input at the middle of this page. This is much faster and omnibox has focus by default. Another reason - when I share my screen, I do not want to accidentally show my recent page titles or screenshots of pages that I opened.

  • Configurable night mode switch (22:00 - 10:00) 🌄
  • Adopts to the system's dark/light theme switch 🌗
  • No leaks 1
  • No ads
  • Smooth clock arrow rotation
  • Customizable interface
  • Automatically paused when overlaps by other window or user switched to another tab 1
  • Automatically paused on idle

The DS-Digital font is used for digits

Known Issues

WARNING: High CPU usage

Against the background of the fact, that browser cannot detect is window is active or not there is a risc that clock application will continue to run on minimized/background window and continue to overly use CPU/GPU for rendering.

So, I would not recommend to use this extension on laptop until there will be a better solution for this.

To minimize risk of battery drain, extension will be listen on Visibility API events and Idle events to stop superfluous calculations.
