- Excelente. No hay nada como abrir una pestaña y y sorprenderse con imágenes creativas cada vez. Carga rapidísimo y el efecto zoom le da un toque impresionante. Nada de ventanas blancas cegadoras. Comienza con una imagen nueva siempre. Por cierto, me gustaría ver un historial de las imágenes, para no perder una imagen bella en una pestaña cerrada de improviso.
- Marco Cardoso
- Genial.
- Chris Clukey
- If I were writing this review a year ago, I'd be writing a rave. The thing is, for the past several months, the extension shows the same pic in a new tab every single time. If I remove the extension and reinstall, it will function normally for a few days, but then return to showing the same item every time.

- Imágenes ilimitadas en Unsplash y siempre se repiten las mismas
- Adriel Kloppenburg
- Just perfect, thank you who ever made it at Unsplash! Edit, I wish there was an option to load original images, instead of the small versions. They all looks blurry on a Mac retina screen.
- Simon Jost
- I love the extention and the pictures. However, I have this bug that after a day or so it doesnt give me new pictures anymore. Everytime I open a new tap it shows me the same picture. Had this on my old laptop as well. Now on the macbook too. Too bad. It is fixed by deleting and installing the extention tho. Not very nice !

- Please add like button!

- Wonderful extension. I love the picture selection. Being sourced unsplash, I figured there will be a bunch of "not so nice" pictures to use as your browser face. Like models and people posing. However this was not the case, all the photos are landscapes et cetera. Absolutely love the pictures!
- Michael Howard
- Viewing History in the tab now longer works. Pressing Ctrl-H brings up a blank tab. I have to turn the extension off in order for Ctrl-H to work.

- I'd love a setting to cache the images for some time, so they don't change on every tab opening.

- Des douzaines de magnifiques photos chaque jour, l'affichage minimal permet de n'avoir (presque) que celles-ci, tout simplement parfait, merci !
- Tom
- Was enjoying this extension, but then went to use Unsplash mobile and found that they only support Apple! Unsplash is a big enough company they could and should be cross platform to give their users that flexibility.

- My bookmarks tab is gone. One of the main functionailty of new tabs...

- Good to begin with but still needs some improvements to to be considered for users like us. Found your extension on your homepage scrolling for images yesterday. I used on my brave, edge and cent browser but in the former it shows black screen until reloaded. Also my main concerns is about of missing search bar, add visiting site shortcuts and time. If you could see tabliss new tab, it provides same but it not updated. Do check nightTab for more info. Do add quotes option. Also add option to see images of particular category or collections not randoms. If you could add these options, I hope we'll love it even more. I'll consider adding to chrome one day if such are implemented to keep my productivity going. Show apps option is kinda broken and should not show brave home page instead. Dont forget dark mode. and do optimize for lower devices. Thanks.

- 非常棒，唯一的缺点是图片不够清晰，要是能够选择加载图片时的分辨率就更好了。 Very good, the only drawback is that the picture is not clear enough, if I can choose the resolution when loading the picture, it would be better. ----------2021.09.28---------- please support Safari

- Nimbly tapping on the keyboard, my fingers spelled the single word - Unsplash. Out of the multitude of options that came up in the Chrome Web Store, one caught my eye - Unsplash Instant. I had had a wonderful experience using Unsplash in the past, so I assumed that this would live up to my expectations. And, partly, it did! I love having the amazing pictures brought right to my new tab. However, I immediately noticed something missing. My search bar! The search bar that I had taken for granted was always in the new tab was, well, gone! As I checked out the settings to see if it was just some weird default responsible for killing the search bar in my new tabs, I noticed something else (besides the lack of customizable settings). If I wanted, I could have my "apps" on my new tabs. Wow! So, I turned that setting on, and then saw the ugliest thing yet! My bookmarks were there, but still no search bar, and worse still, they were horrendously ugly! Really low quality, and just a bad aesthetic touch. All in all, this was a brilliant idea, Unsplash, and I applaud all your efforts in making the best ever free stock photo library. I will always use your website (unsplash.com), but in this extension, I would recommend the following changes (if they are even doable). 1. Make your extension just change the background behind the Searchbar and bookmark group (but keep your settings, author picture, camera settings, etc.). 2. Consider adding additional settings for more customizability. You could add filters to the type of pictures displayed (technology, nature, etc.) for example. Dear Unsplash - Continue making your good ideas better!

- I love this extension and service!
- Tom
- Good extension, except for the "Unsplash Instant" branding in the new tab description, as others have noted. I'm sympathetic, of course, to a developer looking for ways to get some revenue from their work, but this doesn't even do that - just wastes space.
- MonsterAbseits Red
- when new tab open,is the background black
- Anonymous
- I had really high expectations for this. But too many of the images are low quality and not interesting to look at.
- Stavan Desai
- I absolutely love this extension and using this to make my new wallpaper collection for my desktop and laptop... thank you for that. I just have 1 suggestion, and I am sure other users would appreciate this addition too --- Please add a "Open Default Tab" button (next to the Download button) instead of going to Settings and then selecting that option. That way it is much easier to access the multiple google accounts, as well as use the shortcuts already put in Chrome, basically use our defaults and remove 1 extra (unnecessary) step.
- Michelle Enderink
- Heel leuk idee, maar je moet alsnog nog een keer op 'Unsplash Instant' klikken op het icon. En er mogen geminimaliseerde achtergronden komen.
- Gleb A
- It'll be great if there will be an option to load only photos that don't need to be stretched for 2k or 4k screens.
- Hao Chen
- very fast, minimal, beautiful, fun to have, surprise with every new tab
- Edward Bennett
- The shots are magnificent! Great selections.
- Randy Van
- love it
- Marvin Stickel
- It just works flawlessly!
- Michael Lowe
- Awesome! But please can we have this on Firefox, too?
- 菩提老王
- Small but great extension to explore great photos without consuming additional time.
- Paul Hoffmann
- This is really nice and helps me destress while I'm working from home during the pandemic. If I don't like the picture, I can just refresh the page and get a new one! It's great!
- Matthew Cooper
- Really cool. It does almost a new pic everytime.
- Nat Riddle
- This extension is a must have for any Chromium browser. Most other New Tab pages are busy, distracting, or just ugly. This is the exact opposite of all three. It's also a great way to uncover new pictures to like and share. I've found so many good pictures and wallpapers through this extension. Install today and get un-splashed with inspiration!
- Orest Ivasyk
- Thank you!
- p ho
- Would be good if there was an option to show a clock and a row of top sites or bookmarks. You could also stand lose the Unsplash logo in the corner. Too much unnecessary info, not enough useful info. Uninstalled.

- 80% of the time, when I open a new tab, I just have to stare at some new beautiful image. It is truly awesome. I loved it so much, I've also installed a microsoft app called 'Splash!' to have a new work of art as my desktop wallpaper every day too.

- Everything great! But please return like button to the page
- Amir Espelani
- That's Very nice
- Jeff McCarthy
- My favorite new tab extension for sure. Can you add a keyboard shortcut for downloading images? I like the minimal UI, but it hides the download button.

- 必须赞一下，每张照片都是绝美。 好看的我都不舍得关掉New Tab或者把New Tab变成我要上的网站了。 顺便说一下，他们的官网是https://unsplash.com。
- Caitlin Ong
- I love this extension! I use it with another extension, MultiNewTab so I can rotate my new tab images with the google earth because they're both so beautiful. One thing that I would love to have is to connect your Unsplash account with the extension so we can customise which photos and which photographers we see.

- ich liebe es! jedes mal ein wunderbares foto, wenn ich einen neuen tab öffne :-) leider funktioniert es nicht beim vivaldi browser :-(

- Hello team, Loved the extension! Such a good collection of photos and amazing backgrounds. However, there's a small issue I am facing. Whenever I open Chrome, multiple new tabs of Unsplash Instant open, that means sometimes I have 3 tabs open sometimes 4 - all of unsplash. And those are new tabs. It's not like I kept them opened in Chrome and they got restored in new session. I don't know if it is just me but I tried without the extension and Chrome worked fine. Please help!

- Been using it for months with no regrets
