Google Art Project – Chrome Extension
As my career progresses, I see more apps and services which try to invade my space. Notifications, emails, alerts...everyone wants a piece of me. And I'll level with you: they drive me mad. I want the least amount of interruptions as possible and I want the web interactions I do have to be pleasant. I want to enjoy every tiny piece of my day, which is why I'm so excited to have discovered a new Chrome extension for the Google Art Project.
This awesome Chrome extension shows a piece of classic art when you open a new tab. You don't see the default search screen and you don't see history tiles -- you see a beautiful piece of artwork.
So why do I love this extension so much? I've never counted but I'm sure I open at least 50 to 100 new tabs every day, and seeing art upon each new open makes me smile. Adding beauty in any aspect of life is a plus -- this is one easy way to make yourself smile from time to time. :)

![Ana Tudor’s Favorite CodePen Demos]()
Cocoon
I love canvas, I love interactive demos and I don't think I have ever been more impressed by somebody's work than when I discovered what Tiffany Rayside has created on CodePen. So I had to start off with one of her interactive canvas pens, even though...
I use a plugin called Benchwarmer which does a similar thing but with tiled dribbble shots (most popular, who your following or just the latest)
I chose nature – Momentum (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/momentum/laookkfknpbbblfpciffpaejjkokdgca) with beautiful photos, but this plugin looks also interesting.
It looks good.
I want the same add-on in Firefox!
Here is its replica for Firefox,

Thanks, it would be interesting to see those work of art on my Chrome, just hope it does not make it too heavy and slow.
