User reviews

Users appreciate the visually appealing daily background images with interesting details which enhance their browsing experience. However, several users report that the extension does not load Bing automatically or changes new tab behavior, and the images sometimes lack high resolution. Some also feel it offers minimal features beyond a shortcut, making it redundant especially for those who already use Bing as their homepage. Concerns about data collection were also mentioned. Overall, the extension is liked for its aesthetics but criticized for limited functionality and technical shortcomings.

Cons

Some users feel the extension collects data without providing added value
Provides no benefit for users who already have Bing as the default homepage

I don't think it did anything. I just wanted to bring back crispy, beautiful high-res images with the fun fact icons I could click for more information about the image. All the background images in edge are low resolution and videos don't play automatically anymore. microsoft pls they were inspiring and pretty

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.

Microsoft Bing Homepage requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
