Reviews of pastel new tab with a clock:
Cute~
Whenever I click "Show/Hide top websites", it hides the top websites right after I click show. Other than that, it does everything it says it does.
Does what it says it does and very well too. Apparently a lot of the reviewers can't read and have given it low scores for not having features that were not advertised to begin with. I'd normally give it a 4 but I want to counter their ineptitude so here's a 5 instead. If I were to ask for anything, I'd like if the settings/options to only show up when the mouse cursor hovers over the icon closely. Right now, it shows up when it's anywhere on the lower half of the screen. I'd also like there to be options for clock sizes. I think it's a bit small right now. Really liking it otherwise. Dark mode is a welcome addition.
