                An extremely fast and lightweight(< 5 KB) New Tab extension for chrome which displays all your bookmarks on the new tab.

Features
- Minimalistic
  There are many extensions which provide you beautiful pictures and what not. This extension follows a minimalistic approach where only bookmarks are shown. If you are a person who likes a minimalistic approach for things, then this extension is made for you.
- Folder Structure
  Bookmarks stored in a folder appear inside a pane with the name of the folder being the title of the panel. Refer to the screenshot for more details.

- Extremely small
  The size of this extension is just 3.92 KB (Compared to other extensions which is at least 2 times greater in size. You can verify this by comparing the sizes of extensions at the bottom right corner in the web store)

- Super fast
  This new tab extension loads in just 90-100ms which is 9 to 10 times faster than the default new tab page (The default new tab page takes about a second to load. This can be verified using chrome developer tools.)

  The new tab page adjusts and re-aligns itself to fit perfectly to your chrome window. No matter how big or small your chrome window is, you never have to scroll horizontally. EVER.

Explaining the Permissions Required
This extension requires two permissions.
1. "Read and Change your bookmarks" - This permission is required to read your bookmarks and display them on the new tab page. The change permission is also requested since chrome does not have an API to just read bookmarks
2. "Read the icons of the website you visit" - This permission is required to display favicons for the bookmarks. For more information please google for chrome://favicon/

===========================
Version 0.0.4
- Add a feedback form after uninstall
Sorry for being a bit annoying here but I felt that the reasons to uninstall could be due to some UX issues which needs to be fixed.

============================
Version 0.0.3

- Add favicons to your bookmarks
  A picture is said to be worth a thousand words. Even though adding favicons can make the loading slower by about 40-50ms, compared to the accessibility and the usefulness of the favicons, I decided to add favicons and make this release

It's good but im not a fan of the blue. I'd prefer if it blended in with the Chrome grey
