Today’s feature extension for this task is Background Image for Google Homepage. The extension does exactly what its name implies by allowing you to add a custom background image to Google.com when using the Chrome browser.

The extension lets you chose from a multitude of high-quality images as well as find photos on Flickr or even upload your own via Imgur. The interface is extremely simple and adding or changing a background image literally takes only a few seconds.
