Art Project - New Tab

Displays random masterpieces from Google Cultural Institute in your every new tab

Art Project - New Tab transforms your browser's new tab page into a beautiful gallery of art masterpieces sourced from the Google Arts & Culture database. Each new tab displays a high-resolution artwork from renowned artists such as Van Gogh and Monet, as well as contemporary street art from around the globe.

The extension caches up to five artworks to ensure smooth and fast loading. Every artwork stays visible for 24 hours, but you can refresh at any time to discover a new piece instantly. Titles and artist links are interactive, letting you explore further about the creators. This independent project leverages Google Arts & Culture’s vast collection without affiliation, offering an inspiring and educational browsing experience every day.

I like it a lot, but as other stated, sometimes the quality is so bad that I could not see any valuable details in the paintings.

It's a great idea but the resolution is low that all the paintings are blurry

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.

Art Project - New Tab requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
