                        This extension replaces the default "New Tab" page with a clean and organized page showcasing a wide range of masterpieces, from renowned artists like Van Gogh and Monet to contemporary works by street artists worldwide.

Key Points:
1. The extension utilizes the Google Arts & Culture database to display these artworks. Each artwork includes clickable titles and links to the creators.
2. The extension stores up to 5 artworks in the browser's cache storage to improve responsiveness.
