Classical Chinese poetry and living ink-wash art for every new tab — beautiful even if you can't read a word of it. Turn every new tab into a quiet moment of classical Chinese poetry and ink-wash painting. Ink Tab replaces your new tab page with 30 poems from the Tang and Song dynasties, rendered in vertical, traditional style with a hand-brushed entrance animation. The Chinese appears first; hover to reveal an elegant English translation. Click any character to hear it spoken aloud, or listen to the whole poem. Even if you can't read a single character, the page is a small work of art: mountains that shift with your mouse, drifting mist, and ink that blooms wherever you click.
