Bug Description

Google has the Earth View from Google Earth extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/earth-view-from-google-ea/bhloflhklmhfpedakmangadcdofhnnoh) that can be used to put images on the new tab page. Currently, if I want to use those images in Variety, I have to download the images to a folder and set Variety to use that folder. It would be much more convenient if Variety had the option to use it as a source, just like APOD. The API is accessible through the code of the extension so I'll see if I can implement it and include a patch later.

What is the licensing there, and does it provide author attribution?
I have not checked myself, so please consider the update to the policy if you go about implementing this: http://peterlevi.com/variety/2017/03/changes/
