Visual Delight

A pixel-art pet that lives on your pages and a calm New Tab to come back to, with soft light and moods. Free and private.

Visual Delight gives your browser a small companion and a calmer place to start. Adopt a pixel-art pet that walks along the bottom of your pages, open each new tab to a quiet scene with your clock and search, and add as much or as little soft light and motion to the pages you read as you like. Your pet • Adopt one of six kinds of pet, choose its coat and give it a name. It walks, naps, stretches and now and then chases your pointer. • Feed it, play with it and say hello each day to grow a streak. It grows up over time, learns a few tricks and unlocks little accessories to wear. • It greets you on the New Tab and keeps you company while a focus timer runs. A New Tab worth opening • A calm scene or a gently moving wallpaper behind your clock, search, shortcuts and tasks. Your browser asks you once whether to keep it. • The scene follows the mood you choose, so your tabs and the pages you visit feel like one place. Pages that feel alive • Pick one of more than 20 moods that set a soft cursor, page light and drifting particles together. One slider takes it from subtle to striking. • Videos glow softly onto the page around them, like a backlit screen. • Read in comfort with dark mode for any site, a clean reader view and a focus ruler. Considerate by design Only a few things are on from the start: the pet, the New Tab, the cursor and the glow around videos. Everything else waits until you turn it on, and any effect can be switched off for a single site or everywhere. Effects stay off on banking, sign-in and payment pages, quiet down in web apps, and follow your system's reduce-motion setting. A keyboard shortcut turns everything off in the current tab at once. Effects never block clicks or move the page's layout. Private Everything runs in your browser. There is no account, no tracking and no ads, and the pages you visit never leave your device. Your pet's progress is kept on your device too. The optional Feedback form sends only what you write, when you press Send. Anonymous crash reports (error details from the extension's own code, never page content) help fix bugs and can be turned off in the settings. Free Visual Delight is free to use. Videos protected by DRM can't be read by any extension, so they show no ambient light.
