Chrome addon turns New Tab page into a Google Now look alike

Chrome: New Tab Page replaces Chrome's default new tab with one that includes weather, news headlines, frequently visited sites, and a larger Google search bar at the top. It's not a perfect replacement for iGoogle (scheduled to shut down later this year), but it's a start.

Some of the information that New Tab Page populates is already in Chrome's (beta and dev) latest new tab page layout: the search bar with buttons for commonly-visited sites is already available. New Tab Page takes the number of buttons from four to six, and moves the search bar to the top of the page so local weather, news, and installed apps and extensions are just beneath.

You'll have to click "Use current location" to get local weather the first time you open a new tab, but from there it'll remember where you live. It's not perfect: we'd like to see more cards available, maybe Gmail or social networks, but for the time being, it's a far sight better than the current new tab page. Hit the link below to give it a try.
