Set New Tab background in Google Chrome

README.md

Set New Tab background in Google Chrome

1. Install new-tab-background.user.js UserScript into your Tampermonkey
2. Edit the UserScript header

• Set up top-level domain of your country (change .hu to your country's TLD)
• Change the file:///full/path/of/background.jpg example background URL to your desired URL (if you want to use local resource - `file://`` you have to enable "Allow access to file URLs" right for Tampermonkey)
