Description

Enjoy every new tab you open with wallpaper-worthy photos from all around the world. Photon replaces your default new tab with carefully curated, high-quality photos—subtle, immersive, and distraction-free. Each photo comes from the enormous library of Philip's Photo Collection and is linked so you can easily find it and download it for any other usage. ⸻ 🌄 What Photon does • A new photograph on every tab High-resolution landscape images, loaded seamlessly as your background. • Smart image loading Photos are preloaded for smooth transitions and fast display—even on slower connections. • Location-aware details See where each photo was taken, including country information and subtle visual context. • Minimal, optional UI A clean interface that you can show or hide at any time. • Clock and date A simple clock and date display that adjusts to your system language. • Offline-friendly Photon gracefully handles offline moments and resumes loading images once you’re back online. • Lightweight & private by design No accounts, no personal data collection, no tracking of browsing activity. ⸻ ⚙️ Customizable, but unobtrusive Use the extension popup to: • Toggle the time display • Hide or show the interface entirely Photon stays out of your way—until you open a new tab. ⸻ 🔒 Privacy first Photon does not collect personal data or browsing history. Anonymous usage statistics may be used to improve the product, but nothing is tied to you.
