Photos New Tab Chrome Extension

 See personalized, random photos in your new tabs linked to your Google Photos account, getting your best memories in front of you throughout the day!

Every time you open a new tab youll be shown a random photo from your Google Photos account.

Google has sunset the Picasa photos API so this switches everything over to Google Photos. This should resolve any reported issues around seeing a constant 'loading' screen, or not being able to update album lists.
