About

This extension replaces your new tab page with a random, breathtaking location from Atlas Obscura, and a minimal display for the weather in your location (Inspired by Chromecast)

This project was based on the official Atlas Obscura new tab extension. 

Important Note: 
- This is an unofficial, and open source project not built by Atlas Obscura
- Permission to publish this community-built was requested from Atlas Obscura :)
- It's a reimplementation that doesn't reuse the original source code

Improvements over the original:
- Built for Speed: Optimized to eliminate "flashes" and lag.
- Smooth UI: Staggered animations and a clean, modern layout.
- Live Weather: Real-time local weather in the bottom corner. (requires Location permissions)
