Animated new tab that reacts to your mouse. 12 live themes, custom colors and fonts, a clock, search and shortcuts.

Turn every new tab into a living wallpaper. Kinetic New Tab replaces Chrome's blank new tab page with an animated, interactive background that reacts to your mouse, plus a clean clock, a search bar and your favorite shortcuts. Move your cursor and the page moves with you. Dots ripple away from your pointer, stars swirl around it, fireflies scatter, bubbles pop and aurora ribbons bend toward it.
