Here is a comparison with other extensions.
Moment:
- closed source
- many features and backend requests I don't need
- many more pictures
- payed mode
Google default page:
- many nice pictures
- overloaded (including search field I don't use)
Many other 500px extensions:
- none of them is working (for me)
- original extension is very slow (when loading the pictures with big watermark)

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
