Exposure New Tab is a free Google Chrome extension that shows a new image every time you open a new tab. It fetches the images from Exposure website and lets you view them in a new tab.
Exposure website is a storytelling website where photographers and other users can share their story using graphics. This extension grabs photos uploaded by Exposure users’ and presents those images in a new tab of your Google Chrome. Mainly the cover photos of Exposure users’ is fetched by this extension.
You can use this extension to turn the boring and white color new tab into interesting and beautiful tab. Whenever you will refresh the new tab, a different photo will be in front of you.
Above screenshot shows my new tab with a beautiful photo provided by this extension.
Note: After installing this extension, MENU option will also be visible on the new tab. Clicking this option will explore a sidebar that contains multiple options, like sign in or create an account with Exposure, discover stories of Exposure users, search, etc. However, none of these options worked for me. You need to manually open homepage of Exposure website and create a free account to access all these options.
