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
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!!
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!!!!
Doesn't load albums! Infinite loop.
it may be just me , but i can not get my pics off the screen , when i get on here they are here
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!
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, and I'll give it 5 stars.
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.
