About This Extension

Make every new tab a moment. Stunning View transforms Chrome's new-tab page into a calm, cinematic dashboard — seamless cinematic video wallpapers, a beautiful clock, instant search, and one-click access to the sites you visit most. ✦ Seamless cinematic wallpapers Nine hand-picked video loops — auroras, oceans, drifting clouds, glittering city nights and flowing abstract art — each crossfading without a seam. Keep one favourite, shuffle a new scene on every tab, or wake up to a fresh wallpaper each day. ✦ An elegant clock & greeting A refined clock with 12- or 24-hour time, optional seconds, and a warm personalised greeting that follows the time of day. ✦ Instant search, your way Search the web or jump straight to any URL from the centre of your new tab. Press “/” anywhere to focus the box — no mouse required. Choose which engine the new-tab search box uses from the toolbar popup (Stunning Search, Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, or your own custom engine). This choice applies only to the new-tab search box — your browser's default search settings are never changed. ✦ Your top sites — tidy Your most-visited sites appear as crisp glass tiles. Don’t want one showing? Hover and tap the × to remove it instantly, and restore hidden tiles anytime from the customise panel. ✦ Subtle parallax & glassmorphism The wallpaper gently follows your cursor for a sense of depth, wrapped in a modern frosted-glass interface. Respects your “reduced motion” preference. ✦ Battery friendly & private Video pauses the instant the tab is hidden, plus a one-click pause button whenever you want stillness. Everything runs locally and ships inside the extension — no accounts, no analytics, no servers, and it works offline. ✦ Companion Love the view? Complete the set with Stunning Search, our companion extension that powers your address-bar searches with Yahoo. Each is a separate, optional install — use one, the other, or both. Open a new tab and breathe. ✨ — Privacy Policy: https://stunningsearch.com/privacy/ Terms of Service: https://stunningsearch.com/terms
