This extension will display a random panoramic street view any time you open a new tab.

UPDATE: I have received a spike in users, which is amazing! However, this means Google Maps has begun to charge me for requests from the application. I am working to overcome this obstacle and continue to make this usable and cost free for everyone. In the meantime, there is a quota on how many requests we are sending a day which can lead to some errors when you open a tab. Not very pretty :( Bear with me until I figure out a better system here.

User reviews

This is an amazing extension that I love. However there is one issue. When a new tab is opened in Edge on my Surface Pro the gyroscope is active and goes crazy at first so the street view is orienting itself or something. There is an icon in the bottom right that is shaped like a phone with two arrows on either side. If I click on the phone the gyro functionality is turned off. I've been searching for a way to have this be the default setting but so far no luck. Could the developer email me at [email protected] is they have a solution? The five start review is for the amazing extension but this one issue is bothering me greatly.
