New in version 0.21
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.
For the most part the experience should be the same, but due to the changes necessary this will require reconnecting your account once you upgrade, and you'll lose your local configuration. Sorry about that!
Other minor changes:
- Photo quality should automatically update based on your browser window size
- All album links now take you straight to Google Photos instead of Picasa
- Fixes a bug where the extension stopped working if you had a very large number of albums and photos
- Prevent creating duplicate history entries

Reviews of photos new tab:
It would only show me two of my photos, no matter how many tabs I opened. Even the settings weren't helpful. Would not recommend, but who reads the reviews on web store anyway?
Highly recommend. Photos New Tab is a great way to bring a smile to my day at work, by reminding me of a good memory every time I open a new tab on my browser. I appreciate being able to selectively pick which Google Photos albums to show.
Thank you
