Overview

Personalized photos from your Google Photos account in your new tabs.

See personalized, random photos in your new tabs linked to your Google Photos account, getting your best memories in front of you throughout the day! Every time you open a new tab you'll be shown a random photo from your Google Photos account. You can choose which albums you want to see and hide to avoid embarrassing content from popping up unexpectedly. You can also temporarily disable personalization for presentations or public spaces. This product is not made by Google and has no official association with Google Photos. Hope you enjoy! ===================== New in version 0.99 - Switch to Manifest V3 - Clean up the UI styling - Substantially reduce extension size NOTE: the extension may take some time to load your album/photo data on initial load, as well as when loading an album for the first time. ------------------------ New in version 0.26 Change disconnect account text to match Google Photos UX guidelines. ------------------------ New in version 0.25 Fix for showing photos when account isn't connected or personalization is disabled. ------------------------ New in version 0.24 Bug fixes for unexpected errors when no data is returned from API requests. ------------------------ New in version 0.23 Fixed Also fixes a bug where reconnecting an account had to be done twice. ------------------------ New in version 0.22 - Add ability to disconnect an account from inside the extension - UX changes to match Google brand guidelines - Better onboarding when no previous install is found Also fixes a bug where reconnecting an account had to be done twice. ------------------------ New in version 0.21 Google has sunset the Picasa photos API so this switches everything over to Google Photos. This should resolve any reported issues around seeing a constant "loading" screen, or not being able to update album lists. For the most part the experience should be the same, but due to the changes necessary this will require reconnecting your account once you upgrade, and you'll lose your local configuration. Sorry about that! Other minor changes: - Photo quality should automatically update based on your browser window size - All album links now take you straight to Google Photos instead of Picasa - Fixes a bug where the extension stopped working if you had a very large number of albums and photos - Prevent creating duplicate history entries This is a pre-release for a major upgrade towards what I'll eventually call version 1.0. ------------------------ New in version 0.20 - History mode! Now scroll through the last 10 photos you've seen. ------------------------ New in version 0.19 - Allow toggling how images are fit to the browser (zoom versus contain) - Options UI overhaul ------------------------ New in version 0.18 - bug fixes when using the extension on multiple devices ------------------------ New in version 0.17 - prevent common video thumbnail types from showing up - add rate and donate buttons ------------------------ New in version 0.16 - add ability to hide/show album info - add compact controls mode - fix a bug causing extension to break after photos are removed from albums ------------------------ New in version 0.15 - add ability to easily copy / save images using the browser's controls ------------------------ New in version 0.14: - disable personalized photos temporarily from config page - faster image loading when personalization is disabled / not setup - better algorithm for choosing what photo to display

I really enjoy this app! I don't understand what Zee is talking about. If having your choice of the images that appear whenever you open a new tab would be too much of a “distraction” for you, then why would you add an app that enables you to have that choice in the first place? And why rail against this app for drawing your images from Google Photos? It has to draw your photos from somewhere. Even if the images came from an alternate source, having your choice of images appearing in new tab... Show more

Adds to my stress with too many distractions. this will not mak google more popular. that is the main reason why I do NOT use MS Edge..... I hate the concept ....that is why i have stuck with Google right from the beginning.... already more than a decade!!!! your photo app is already very good and now that MS has dropped its photo app people will naturally use google photos.....please dont add this photo app on the new page....its horrible!

Hi Zee, sorry you didn't like it. If you don't want photos on your new tab page, you should certainly not use this extension!

It would only show me two of my photos, no matter how many tabs I opened. Even the settings weren't helpful. Would not recommend, but who reads the reviews on web store anyway?

I read them! Is it possible that the only album you configured had only two photos in it? Or do you have any other details you can share? I'd love to get to the bottom of why it wasn't working.
