Personal Dashboard is a Chrome extension designed to replace the default new tab page with a customizable and visually appealing interface. This extension features stunning background images sourced from the Unsplash API, which refreshes with each new tab. It also displays the current time and weather conditions based on the user's location, ensuring relevant and up-to-date information. Additionally, Personal Dashboard delights users with adorable dog images from the Dog API, offering a new cute dog photo with every page refresh.
