Worked great for a long time but now has a bug where it pins either Google.com or trends.google.com to Chrome on startup. Other reviewers below cite the same bug. PLEASE FIX THIS BUG!

This extension will hijack your browser so that whenever you open a new tab a random google trends tab will open on it's own.

Very good implementation of theming across all google docs websites, only flaw that made me remove the extension is the behavior of adding a pinned google trends tab every time the browser initializes the extension, probably a paid sponsorship?
