Google Earth pictures in every new tab thanks to this Chrome extension

Oddly satisfying.

If you’re sat in front of a computer for most of the week, you probably waste a good chunk of time staring at white space when Ctrl+Ting to open a new tab, but with this charmingly simple browser extension, each new tab will not only look infinitely more pretty but perhaps teach you a little something about the world.

Earth View from Google Earth ‘displays a beautiful Satellite image from Google Earth every time you open a new tab’, and is oddly satisfying.

Moreover, it loads instantly too, so you don’t have to worry about the extension slowing your computer down.

In other ‘useless but pleasing internet things’ news, may I introduce you to Inspirograph, an online spirograph for you to doodle geometric patterns on when bored.
