Amazing Extension. Please just add Sun & Moon Time feature, that would be soooo helpful
This extension is fantastic. I can't express how much this has improved my browsing experience.
The best new chrome tab extension ever! Have loved this extension for a few years and have installed it on my different chrome profiles. Love ALL the features provided, with me using the favourites one the most to come back to the favs pics. One suggestion/feedback: I would love it if you could significantly increase the amount of pics u can save. I have already hit the max at 57! If that's not possible, at least give me some neat ability to download all the images in a zip file with each image named with the caption and the date? (A simple text file that keeps record of all the data, mainly the image's caption and it's date, would be appreciated too). Otherwise, awesome job! Thank you for this. Love it :)
Hey! Love the extension! Thank you so much. Small issue after last update the APOD that shows up in cart each time is random instead of current day. And setting page for extension doesn't load fully. Pic here: https://i.imgur.com/vwgHMAS.png
A really nice extension, and thanks to Travis for fixing the permissions issue. ---- original review ---- A really nice extension, but today I was greeted with a notification that it was disabled. To enable, I need to grant it access to read and change all data on all websites. I _hope_ this is a mistake...
My favorite new tab extension ever and best APOD Chrome extension out there!
I love this extension, it is humbling to say the least to be reminded of our significant insignificance everytime I open a new tab! Thank you!
Just wanted to update in 2023 that this is still the good stuff. Recent enhancements and bug fixes. Two thumbs up, five stars, ten stars, 100 fresh tomatoes. :-) This is easily my favorite new tab extension. In addition to the beauty of the backgrounds it offers (continually updated by NASA), it has a surprising array of useful features, including functions that make perusing past offerings and marking favorites a breeze. Easy access to HD and NASA's descriptive text without having to visit NASA's--sorry, NASA--ugly page are a couple of my other favorite features. I wouldn't have asked, but access to frequently visited sites has proven quite helpful. Great work! And thank you.
It is AMAZING! BUT!!!! I have been searching for such a tool for my AstroGate educational YouTube channel. I found it BUT the Today button is broken! please please fix it Trav. and thank you.
Great concept, the favorites feature was also a nice surprise. Neat and well thought-out UI preserves original new tab functionalities conveniently and elegantly.
