Photos New Tab

This app is great when it's working. Seems like google changed something because it no longer changes photos. The creator of the app is working into it, but I even picked an album that had two images and it wouldn't change. Hopefully it is able to figure out how to work around whatever Google did, as this app is great for my ADHD brain since I got to have a different image randomly.

Was working great for a long time, but just started getting the error: This extension has temporarily hit its Google Photos usage limit. New photos will not load for bit. Please try again later. Now it just shows the same 1 photo.

It's pretty good, but my only complaint is the lack of a full screen option. I really don't like having black bars on the screen. Please add this option. The full screen option was working before the last update. Any chance we can get it back? Thanks.

Awesome extension! Thank you!

Always the same 30 photos are shown, when I have near 600 photos in my album

Hey Cory - I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE EXTENSION and have been using it ferociously for years. Lately I added a lot of pictures to my google and the app has been refusing to reconnect now matter how many times I install/uninstall, remove chrome, reinstall chrome, restart my computer. I even went as far as moving a folder with only 600+ photos to a different gmail acccount and trying to connect that instead but the app seems stuck forever. Can you please fix? thank you very much. brings a smile to my face and this extension is such a gem.

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 tabs would be no less “distracting”.

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!

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?

Highly recommend. Photos New Tab is a great way to bring a smile to my day at work, by reminding me of a good memory every time I open a new tab on my browser. I appreciate being able to selectively pick which Google Photos albums to show.

Thank you

Thank you

I have been frustrated for quite a while that I had to just choose one picture as a background. This app has been a blessing. Keep up the hard work!!

Buena, se ven tus fotos en una nueva pestaña.

I couldn't use this extension first, because something was changed at Googles side and the extension didn't work. I asked for support and the developer fixed it, so now I can use the extension and I love it! Seeing all the long forgotten photos from my albums is awesome.

Hooray! No more getting stuck on "getting list of albums". Google broke it, but Cory fixed it. Thanks for your great extension, Cory!!!!

Hey Cory, is this open source? If so, I'd love to contribute. There's a couple of recommendations I'd like to make, if I may. 0. Can you please use the google Photo API instead of the strange "get.google.com/albumarchive" that I've never heard of before and doesn't accurately reflect my google photos library. 1. The contain option would be nice if it looked a little more polished... reflective photo option, white backdrop, etc 2. Options to filter images shown by location, time, keyword, etc... 3. A thumbnail google map showing where the image was taken Otherwise I love it! One of my favorite extensions. Again, would love to be able to contribute. Thanks! P.S. I found https://github.com/czue/chrome-google-photos in hope but the repo was empty!

Sweet extension, exactly what I was looking for! I love the ability to be able to sign-in to a different Google account than the one I'm currently signed-in to Chrome as.

Simple, perfect. Love seeing old photos pop up.

Really cool concept and works great. Would love to have the option to "fit" the image to the tab by cropping or zooming.

This is my new favorite Google extension! I love getting surprised by old photos every time I open a new tab. If possible, I'd second the idea to prevent video stills from popping up, but I'd also be interested in seeing you collaborate with Tab for a Cause! I really like the idea behind that one, too, but if I were able to use that with random images from my Google photos like you've done here, that would be the dream. But, of course, above all else, thank you for making this!

I love seeing glimpses of photos that I otherwise would probably never see again!

I've been waiting for someone to create an extension that does this for ages. It works great! I'd love to see some customization options, especially: filtering (e.g. orientation, excluding videos/animations), aspect ratio/fill screen options, and ability to show/hide the album name/date.

Love it! So glad you can choose which albums are used. Developer is very responsive as well.

Great to have see those random photo's that are just languishing in the cloud.

I might be biased since I'm the author, but I love this extension! Using it brightens my day constantly.
