Get to know the LGBTQIA+ community

This extension will change the page for a new tab / new page in Google Chrome (version >= 88). It uses the Manifest V3. Does not work for Smartphones.

Every tab/window (chrome://newtab/) will generate a random queer information page, so you maybe a page appears, you'll already knew and maybe not. Kinda fun, huh?

Installation

Currently this extension is not available in the Chrome Webstore. But will soon.

In the meantime you can add it manually to chrome. That means, you have to download it first. Go to Releases and download the latest version to your Computer.

Updates

Because the community is huge so is the data to collect. That is why, there will be updates with more queer-information. So stay tuned.

Frontend

The content is generated dynamic by JavaScript (based on ES6 (ECMAScript 2015) and a random output. The template is based on jumbotron by Bootstrap 4.6. All flags are SVG files. On gist I saved them so you can use them as well.
