This is easily my absolute favorite Chrome extension. I find myself opening new tabs, or just refreshing existing open tabs to see the different images available. It is so cool that Google has team members documenting these beautiful locations and making them available to the public in a tool that requires little effort from the end user. One thing I'd love to see added (unless it's already there and I've missed it)...I would love to be able to look at the history of the images that I've seen on my machine. Just today, I opened a tab and saw a GREAT pic. I needed to check out a link, so pasted it and figured I could hit Back to see that pic again. Unfortunately, another popped up and I hadn't spent enough time looking at it initially to remember where it was on earth. Bummer. If there is a way to view history, can someone please let me know? This extension rocks!!!

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Earth View from Google Earth requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious.
This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on
Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been
around, and other signals about the
Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change
as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
