Spice Up Your Google Search Background [On Chrome]


The trend these days is that if you want the answer to something, you don’t ask a grown up, you ask Google. I’m sure for most of you the Google search page is your start page, especially if your favorite browser is Chrome. Notice that the background of the Google search page is a blank sheet of nothingness, well, apart from the search bar of course.
