User reviews

Users appreciate the Google Arts & Culture extension for its beautiful artwork and cultural enrichment on new tabs. However, many face issues with repeated images over time, black screens preventing image loads, and a broken 'Default new tab' link causing errors. Some users find the new default sites menu unattractive and are bothered by added permissions and loading indicators from recent updates. Despite these problems, the extension remains popular among art lovers and is highly recommended for its enriching content.

很好的插件，不过，使用该插件后，无法像默认新标签页一样显示收藏栏（默认新标签页具有“只在新标签页上显示收藏栏的功能）

Please give access to more art. Simply add more or let users decide what they want to see, based on keywords or category. Extension works fine, but it needs more images.

Love it. Nitpick: the images end up repeating after sometime and it gets boring. I bet that the selection is limited. Why not add ALL the art you have in stock?
