Chrome’s new tab page is the one screen you see more than any other, and most people never bother to change it. Alucard Hellsing Live Wallpaper does something about that. It swaps the blank page for an animated HD scene of Alucard, the vampire from Hellsing, standing under a blood-red moon.
It’s a free Chrome extension built for anyone who’d rather look at Alucard’s grin than a search bar on white.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this extension free? Yes. There’s no paid tier and nothing to unlock inside the wallpaper gallery.
Will it slow down my browser? No. Wallpapers cache locally after the first load, so new tabs open at normal speed.
Does it work offline? Yes, once the wallpapers have loaded once. After that they’re stored on your device.
What data does it collect? The extension only needs new tab access to show wallpapers. It doesn’t ask for login credentials or reach into unrelated browsing data.
Can I upload my own wallpaper? Yes. The upload option lets you set any image from your device as the new tab background.
Is this an official Hellsing product? No. This is a fan-made new tab theme. It isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Kouta Hirano, Studio Madhouse, or Hellsing’s rights holders. All character rights belong to their respective owners.
Why Fans Love This Extension
Alucard isn’t a character who blends into the background, and most wallpaper extensions don’t do him justice. A static image loses the slow-burning menace of the character. Here, the animation keeps the red coat moving and the eyes glowing, and the blood moon in the background does a lot of the atmospheric work on its own.
The extension also stays out of its own way. There’s no dashboard bolted on top of the wallpaper, no pop-up asking for a newsletter signup, nothing competing with the image for attention. Just a clock, a search bar, quick links, and a rotating set of vampire and gothic scenes doing what a wallpaper is supposed to do.
For anyone who still thinks about the Millennium war arc more often than they’d admit, that’s the whole appeal.
