## Description

Update April 2023:
Some users may notice that the extension fails to fetch images when tags are not used. This is because <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/1f6fea0db77dc794ff119f97725319347728985a3cf38e379980229f54be8431/http%3A//source.unsplash.com" rel="nofollow">source.unsplash.com</a>, the URL I use to get images, is no longer supported by Unsplash and I would need to update splashtab to make use of the new API.
However, splashtab does not comply with the Unsplash API guidelines* and would thus be ineligable to use the new API in its current form.
It is for this reason that I will not be updating the extension. You of course may continue to use it for as long as it remains available and functional, but a time will come when it will break completely and I will unlist it.

Thank you to all of you that that use and rated the extension, and I apologise to all of you for the bad news. There are many other extensions that do similar things, and I would recommend checking out alternatives that are actively maintained. Thanks again.
