About this extension

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

Read the publisher’s full description

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 photos 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 2.0 Overhauled the extension to work with the latest Google Photos APIs. You will now have to pick the photos you want to show up manually, and can only add up to 2,000 photos. This is due to a limitation Google has placed on library access to Photos. This should hopefully fix loading errors in previous versions of the extension. Let me know if you have any feedback!
