Shutterstock Tab is a Chrome extension to customize the new tab page of your Chrome browser with Shutterstock images, time, weather, recently visited sites. With every new tab that you open in your Chrome browser, you will be greeted with a beautiful picture from Shutterstock’s collection. Apart from that you will also see the current time and the weather for the day. At the bottom right of this new tab, you will see all your recently visited sites.
The below screenshot shows the new tab page of my Chrome browser after installing this extension.
Installing this extension is pretty easy, like with any other extension of Chrome. You can get the link of this extension at the end of this article. Click the link and when you get to the page of the extension, click on add to chrome button. This will add this extension to your Chrome browser. Now every time you open a new tab, you will see a beautiful image and customized page.
There is also a settings option you will find at the top right of this page, from where you can tweak a few settings. A screenshot of this is given below.
