Zeus: an animated new tab for Chrome

Chrome

Zeus turns Chrome's new tab into animated space and stars, or an image or video of your choice, with a clock, date, shortcuts and search. The pack also includes static themes for Chrome's frame.

Frequently asked questions

Does Zeus collect my data?

No. It uses Chrome's top sites, bookmarks and search permissions only to show shortcuts and search on your device. Nothing is sent to 7krh.

Does it work in Edge or Brave?

It's made for Chrome. Other Chromium-based browsers, such as Edge and Brave, can also load unpacked extensions from their extensions page.

Why doesn't Chrome's frame animate?

Chrome themes only support static colours and images. The animation lives on the new tab page, and the static themes restyle the tabs and address bar.
