This extension offers a minimalistic somewhat customizable startpage that looks absolutely stunning.

Also this is the only extension that I found that respects your privacy as it only wants access to your location, which you can even disable I think, instead of access to your whole browsers data like all the others.

Still I only give 4 out of 5 stars as the search bar is useless to me in its current state as it's not automatically focused when opening a new tab.
