Unsplash Instant Extension for Chrome

Unsplash Instant transforms every new tab into a distraction‑free canvas showcasing a randomly selected, high‑resolution photo from Unsplash. It preloads the next image for near‑instant display and gives you lightweight controls that stay out of the way until you need them.

Key features:
• Instant random Unsplash photo each new tab
• Photographer name, profile link, and location details
• History panel to revisit previously shown images
• One‑click download, share/copy links
• Optional minimal/ clean mode to hide UI
• Subtle motion/animation toggle for ambience (can be disabled)
• Smart caching to reduce bandwidth and flicker
• No sign‑in, no ads, no analytics beacons added

How it works:
On each new tab, the extension fetches a random photo via the Unsplash API (or cached queue) and immediately begins preloading the next one in the background.

Privacy & permissions:
• storage / unlimitedStorage: used only to cache recent images, preferences, and history locally
• No personal data collection or external tracking scripts beyond the Unsplash image/API request itself

Usage tips:
• Press the history icon to reopen a past favorite
• Toggle minimal mode for a pure, text‑free photo experience
• Use the download or share buttons to keep or send an image (respect photographer license terms)
