If you open dozens of tabs a day, you’re staring at Chrome’s new tab page more than almost anything else on your screen. Akaza x Tanjiro Live Wallpaper takes that blank page and turns it into a moving Demon Slayer scene: Akaza and Tanjiro Kamado, mid-battle, in HD.
It’s a free Chrome extension built for Kimetsu no Yaiba fans who want their browser to look like it too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this extension free? Yes. There’s no paid tier and no in-app purchase required to access the wallpaper gallery.
Does it slow down Chrome? No. Wallpapers are cached locally after the first load, so new tabs open at normal speed.
Can I use it without an internet connection? Yes, as long as the wallpapers have already loaded once. After that, they’re stored locally.
Does it collect personal data? The extension only needs new tab access to display wallpapers. It doesn’t require login credentials or access to unrelated browsing data.
Can I add my own wallpaper instead of the built-in gallery? Yes. The upload feature lets you set any image from your device as the new tab background.
Is this an official Demon Slayer product? No. This is a fan-made new tab theme. It isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Koyoharu Gotouge, Shueisha, Ufotable, or Aniplex. All character rights belong to their respective owners.
Why Fans Love This Extension
The Akaza vs Tanjiro fight is one of the most talked-about arcs in the entire series, and most wallpaper extensions treat it as a single static image slapped on a page. This one doesn’t. The animation actually moves, the resolution holds up on larger monitors, and the shuffle feature means you’re not looking at the same frame every time you open a tab for the fiftieth time that day.
It also doesn’t try to be more than a new tab page. There’s no bloated dashboard, no forced newsletter sign-up, no ads layered over the wallpaper. Just a clock, a search bar, quick links, and a rotating set of Demon Slayer scenes doing exactly what a wallpaper is supposed to do.
For anyone who’s already rewatched the Akaza fight more times than they’d like to admit, that’s usually enough.
