Everything it does, quietly
Match my desktop
Sign in with your Oriel account and every new tab shows the wallpaper Oriel for Windows or Linux set last, changing the moment it does.
Or pick your own
Choose topics like nature, space or architecture and how often the photo changes: every tab, hourly or daily. Works right away, signed out, with no account.
Clock, quote, search
A clock and a short quote sit over the photo, with an optional search bar that uses your browser's own search engine. Turn any of them off.
Light and private
No background page, no analytics, no ads. Nothing runs when no new tab is open, and Oriel never reads your browsing history.

Questions
Yes. It is free, has no ads and needs no account. Signing in is optional and only used to follow your desktop wallpaper.
Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Mozilla Firefox, from the same code. Chromium browsers install it from the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons; Firefox from Firefox Add-ons.
No. On its own the extension picks photos from a built-in set. Install Oriel for Windows or Linux and sign in with the same account to make your new tab match your desktop wallpaper.
None unless you sign in. If you do, it uses your Google name and email to link your account, and reads the one document that holds your current wallpaper. It never reads your browsing history, the pages you open or what you type. Details are on the privacy page.
No. It has no background page and does nothing when no new tab is open. The photo is one image that your browser loads and caches.
From Unsplash, a community of photographers. Each photo links to its photographer.
