Reviews & Comments of Speed Dial 2 New tab chrome extension

Irritating pop-up

I used this for a while, but there is an obnoxious popup every single time I open a new tab (which is probably hundreds of times a day). I searched for alternatives (literally, search for 'speed dial 2 alternatives') and there are other developers, some look more, some less trustworthy. I suggest reading the developer info, look at screenshots and permissions and choose one that suits you if you're also annoyed by the ad.

Decided to be an ad platform to push AI trash onto its users. I will be looking for a replacement immediately.

I LOVE this extension, been using it for years. Today, however, I opened my browser to ads!? Why take something beautiful, something that works so well, and throw it into the trash pile with all the other apps and extensions that are out to make a quick buck? When added to the fact that people (like me) who paid for a premium plan got downgraded in the last 6 months to 'Legacy' status, it doesn't look good for this extension. There is no reason to start obstructing and changing something that has worked so well for so many for so long. This is the beginning of the end for this app.

Was good, unobtrusive, worked great, but now displays ads whenever it feels like.

Used for years, but once started displaying nasty adverts, it's time to end this relationship. Shame.

Seems that there is a bug so adding current page via context menu isn't working...it's a known issue and explained it in settings...that said, why there is no option to remove the USELESS context menu? especially it's broken to begin with.

One of the best extensions out there!

I love this extension, but the recent introduction of the default Ctrl+B shortcut is extremely short-sighted and should be reverted. That's a super common shortcut in sites like Google Docs, etc, and this overrides it.

Enhancement Suggestions: (1) It would be great if you created a dial button what contained multiple URLs and opened each of them in a new tab on once-click! (2) it would be helpful from a layout and organizational standpoint to be able to insert blank-gap dials to separate the dials. I was able to use your css feature in prior versions but that has disappeared. Anyway, thanks for considering!

My chrome froze, so then I closed it. When I opened it, it said it crashed and asked me to restore settings which a did. However, the Speed Dial tiles that I had all dissappeared. I do not have the pro or premium account just the basic. Please help on how I can retrieve all my tiles back. I did not delete the extension yet in hopes that I could somehow get it retrieved. I am worried if I delete the extension i might loose the files. Is there any way to access these saved bookmarks/tiles? Thank you!!

Love the extension but, when it breaks, there's no real support. I'm suddenly getting begged to upgrade (pay!), something I did months ago. And I can't access my account to find out if I maybe used up my subscription period - timer just keeps spinning. And spinning. And spinning. Found a place that shows a support shortcut, but it's a dead end. There's a Facebook page; last new post was mine, today, and before that, there's nothing new since 2017. What scares me it that, if I can't access my account, I won't be able to cancel my pro subscription when I need to. It's only a couple bucks, but support would be be good.

Can no longer right click to bring up list and add the page to Speed Dial 2.

I have been using Speed Dial for years on my Chromebook without issue. Now it is causing at least one of my keyboard shortcuts (ctrl +B) to malfunction. As soon as I disable the extension, the shortcut works. Unfortunately the ability to use the shortcut is going to win this round. Let me know if there is a fix. Thanks.

The last update (3.5.3) causes a white screen for 5 seconds before the dial comes up, I tried on few different computers and has the same result, please revert back to a previous version since we have no way to block upgrades from google web store.

The last update (3.5.3) cause the CMD+B (bold text) shortcut to open up the grouping option for this extension instead of bolding text. This affects basically everything in my Google docs and emails so I have to disable this extension until its fixed. Using chrome 108.0.5359.124 on a mac.

Wow, blocking users own custom thumbnail images behind a paywall is a new low, Speed Dial. Can someone please create a clone of this extension that brings back all the functionality that has been free for years?

I paid for a what was supposed to be a lifetime use and the add-on has worked fine for me for years. I don't do anything fancy just organize my bookmarks. Now they have decided to start charging me a yearly fee for my lifetime purchase. What a scam! Find something else folks. These guys are not honest.

Very nice and useful extension. Feature suggestion: it would be nice to open thumbnails by simply pressing numbers, i.e. 1 for thubnail 1, 2 for thumbnail 2, 3 for thubnail 3, ... so one does not always need to reach for the mouse. I use a lot ctrl+T, then reaching out for the mouse, instead of just pressing 1 or 2 or 3 ..... https://imgur.com/a/OI0yfjx

Drag-and-drop is gone, so to move a bookmark between folders you need to create a new one and remove the old one. Sync is restoring the previous state, so when I make changes, syncing ruins all my work. Thumbnail creation is really slow. This extension was much better years ago, now it doesn't worth a dollar.

Limited custom thumbnails without Pro subscription and inability to drag and drop bookmarks to different folders... this extensions has definitely gone downhill. Looking for an alternative.

Have been using this extension for years, since before they updated it and called it #2. Still one of the best extensions in the webstore by far!

this extension keeps popping up 25% promotion ads. Please stop this!

You screw your customers with a bait and switch. "lifetime" license is 3 years for you. I hope you die a slow death, you shady POS. You took our money at much higher cost to us and stab us in the back demanding a monthly payment now. The product has hardly been updated during this time too. speed dial is not a good product but I put up with it because I bought a lifetime license. I won't be using anything you offer ever again you shady shyster.

I too have been stung by the promise of a "lifetime" license. I go out of my way to avoid subscription models and never use software from companies that demand a monthly payment. When I pay for software, it's because it'll be a one-time payment, which is what Speed Dial promised me. It's certainly making me think twice about using any other company that offers lifetime deals in the future. Just can't trust these people.

Opening in a separate tab used to open it in the background and then I could proceed to open another tab. Now it opens the tab and switches it to that tab. In looking for a setting to change this back I discovered my membership is now being called "Legacy". I paid for a Lifetime subscription. After an overhaul that ruined the app the developer is now slapping the faces of the early app purchasers. Thanks, but no thanks.

I've been paid subscriber for this add-on for years. I'm pretty sure it's the ONLY add-on I've ever paid for. The developer decided that they regret offering a lifetime subscription, and just ruined the add-on to try and get me to start a new yearly subscription. $#%& you. One of the features of the new yearly 'pro' subscription is the ability to change the font - and the latest update changed the default font to some abhorrent almost unreadable font so you can't change it to something better without paying for the new pro subscription. For 5+ years I have used this with a perfectly readable font and now it's changed and I can't change it without paying. Again, %$&# you. This kind of %#$# is why people are so reluctant to pay for software in the first place.

I was a longtime Premium user of Speed Dial 2 until the most recent update in February 2022. The extension is almost unusable for me now with its loss of customization options, navigation bugs (often requires restart in order to click between bookmark groups), and unattractive thumbnails. I have left a request on the Medium post and sent an email to support for my one main request: restoring the option to have thumbnail images covering the full dimensions of the bookmarks, regardless of the size of the image. I've waited too long for that to be addressed. I have since been able to emulate the function and look and feel of the better days of Speed Dial 2 in Notion, which is much more stable. Other than that, thank you over a decade of an otherwise great extension. If these issues are ever addressed, I will reconsider returning to Speed Dial 2.

"LIFE TIME" yea right.... If you want to make us pay more then make a speed dial 3. or are u Valve ?

We have been deceived by Speed Dial 2. We bought 2 ID of Lifetime license, but now they want us to pay more. It's about trust but they decieved us.

I've been using Speed Dial 2 for years, everything was good, and then they decided to remake everything and just make everything worse, for no reason. It's still alright, but it's now less customizable than before, has less features, doesn't necessarily look better and is only half finished (like boasting "full dark mode support" but all the menus are white, it was better before).

Someone needs to remind the developer what "lifetime" actually means. Paid for lifetime, got a year or so and now being told to pay again? Yea, no, lost my trust. Replacing with another of the many speed dial extensions out there.

I purchased a lifetime deal for this extension and have been using it as my go-to browser tab management + speed dial option. And now the developer throws up a message saying that all lifetime accounts are null and void and should revert to a subscription model; behind which over time the developer has locked up most of its valuable features. I understand the need to make money out of your product/service. But NOT EVER at the cost of your early adopters who trusted in you and invested whatever amount in you, trusting you to keep up your end of the deal. A first class example of greed gone to head and completely unfair and unethical practice by the developer.

Paid for Pro years ago, when it was advertised as a lifetime purcahse. Now they are going to an annual subscription. Although the app is helpful a little, it's not worth a continuing cost. Will be uninstalling and creating my own private jump page using Google Sites (for free).

yeah would have left it as a 4 or 5 but have to voice displeasure in the fact that you pay the one time fee to go pro a few years back to get features and you figure you are done, and then you realise they are going to deprecate your "legacy" account if you don't do the recurring payment at a discount (which will probably last who knows how long). Like everything else be it Bethesda, EA, streaming, most Appstore stuff, etc., they are squeezing and extracting more out of you on a recurring basis now. Yeah, I went ahead and did it due to the fact that I use across multiple devices and between Windows and Kubuntu and Edge, Chrome, and FF, and have hundreds of bookmarks and now dependent on this extension, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

I purchased a lifetime license. Now a few years later, they want to charge me. They should support the customers that were here from the beginning for them, getting their business off the ground.

Had this installed for more than 5 years and it was completely fine. Latest UI update broke scaling (or rather "fixed" it) between monitors with different aspect ratio and now it's unusable. Shame.

Last update seems to randomly shuffle all bookmarks, my order I have had for ever is now gone and I can't save the order, each time chrome restarts it shuffles again.

ONE STAR. Why? because little by little, bit by bit, feature by feature, capabilities have been removed from the free version and added to the pro version. Do i care? not really, I never used 90% of the features this addon offers... However, the "Page capture" thumbnail generation ability stopped properly working months ago and adding new dials would fail because the "Page capture" would never finish capturing, however, because there was still the ability to use a custom URL I would just use the URL of the website logo I was dialing to... But now the custom URL option is locked behind a paywall, which completely removes my ability to add new dials and in turn renders this addon completely useless...

if you remove the default icons url it wont show anything. Pretty rubbish app.

10/2022: The last update messed up the order of my bookmarks, they are randomly all over the place. 01/2021: The top bar with groups doesn't work properly, and it's annoying to use it. Also moving pages to other folders is pretty uncomfortable. Moving a website from bottom to the top is impossible, the page just disappears, not sure if for good or to another group. I renamed my groups to emoji, but after restarting Chrome, there is only blank space, and I can't access the groups anymore. DON'T USE EMOJIS IN YOUR GROUP NAMES!!! There is no support even you paid for the PRO version. The author, Michal Šimonfy (@virae), is ignoring all the feedback and messages.

Paid for pro, been using it for years without problems. Now the order of my tabs keep resetting. I have a backup, but it's pointless since it resets constantly. I don't even know how it's ordering them, it isn't following any logic.

3.28 ***** but 3.2.9 only * because Custom URL for thumbnail is now PRO! I stay with 3.2.8. It is NOT FAIR! Baisic functions should be free.

sucks you have to pay for basic thongs also like add thumbnail to speed dails i almost used for 5 years but not removed it became very bad This was once a great extension, now you've gotta pay for the basic stuff

This was once a great extension, now you've gotta pay for the basic stuff.

The latest updates placed some of the most usefull features behind a paywall.

They keep making features behind a paywall 1 after another, they recently made adding a thumbnail from a link a paid feature which was the final straw for me.

It stopped working. I can not access to my account, infinite loading

It stopped working. You cannot add a page anymore. Page capture hangs forever and the other options are disabled. Useless.

Like it but sometimes can't log in to get my synced tabs

A must have extension. Moved over from Safari and with Speed Dial 2 I have never looked back! I wrote the above in 2013 when I first downloaded this extension and purchased the SpeedDial2Pro. Over the past week, I received the following warning from my AntiVirus (BitDefender) and also from Google Chrome: Deceptive site ahead Attackers on affiliatedork.com may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers or credit cards). Learn more" Google Safe Browsing recently detected phishing on affiliatedork.com. Phishing sites pretend to be other websites to trick you. Currently, it appears that many users are not happy with changes with the extension and lack of response from the SpeedDial2 team. I'll keep this extension installed for a week and if I don't receive a response within that time frame, I'll look for another SpeedDial equivalent.

Unfortunately, I'll have to rate 1 star for many reasons. I bought the premium version so I thought I'd get support but even after 2 days, I got no reply to my email from them, not even an automated message telling me they got my email and that they'll reply. I submitted 2 bugs in my email: - you cannot rename Home - after you import/sync on another PC, the groups and bookmarks are scrambled They also removed some features where you could write your own CSS and the search works terrible, if you type too fast, it skips letters. I am hoping they take this serious because up until now, it looks like they do not care much. I will happily change my review into a 5 stars one if they get their stuff together and start communicating with their customers to fix bugs.

6-15-22 Update fixed adding bookmarks. If after the update your add to current page context menu still doesn't work but you can add a page manually on the extension, go to its settings then system and turn off the context menu, then reboot chrome and renable it and reboot chrome again. Seems to make it work as intended and it is able to invoke its separate window to make thumbnails once again.

Only imports 7 of your current homepage shortcuts, meaning others, plus Favourites, have to be manually recreated. This is something I can't be bothered wasting time doing when a decent extension would do it for me.

Currently have the pro version of this extension. It works great BUT whenever I create a new bookmark it gets stuck on 'Creating Thumbnail' no matter which option I select (and for any website). The only exception is if it's a popular website with a default thumbnail already, and this works. At current, I can't create any new bookmarks, as the bookmark will not save without a thumbnail

It's great, but the Reload thumbnail option doesn't work anymore in the latest Chrome.

Support will never answer your emails. Don't waste your time.

with new chrome update, adding bookmarks doesn't work cause it gets stuck at creating thumbnail

No Password reminder... How to log in if I forgot my password?

I loved this extension enough to go premium! I put a lot of work into getting it exactly the way I wanted it too! And then the developers decided to fix something that wasn't broken and changed almost everything I liked about it. As another reviewer already mentioned, "I paid for a different product" and as soon as I'm done posting this, I'll be looking into other options.

The app was great until they redesigned it. they removed the ability to write custom CSS to style and also removed the bottom toolbar that was extremely useful for opening google apps, like mail and youtube. so you would save some space on the cards grid. I paid for a different product, and after a few years they simply decided to remove some features.. that users have paid for. shame. I'm reporting to google Edit: tried to contact the developer 2 times. no answer.. and it's been like hundreds of negative comments and rating and still no app bar,. each time I want to acces my email or YT i have to go back to first tab. shame, for a paid extension that already had a feature... the dev just removed it without anyone requesting it's removal. i should go back to all of my previous customers and simply remove webpage elements.... becauser I'm thinking they no longer need them

Since the new update my bookmarks keep disappearing to be replaced by a blank page with just the plus button on it. I keep having to start from scratch and add all my bookmarks again. Please fix this issue.

Missleading shitspam on extension load.

каждая помойка мнит себя политиканом в истиной в последней инстанции.

I strongly do not recommend having any business relationship with the developer of this application, incl. purchase its products, services or subscribe to paid subscriptions! If it so happens that his or his owners' worldview changes, he - the developer of this application can easily block you, even if you have nothing to do with these or those events. And it doesn’t matter to the developer whether you are his client who honestly bought their product or not. For example, you, being a premium user, may be spammed by the developer with the imposition of his opinion, and then you may become disabled without warning at all, consider that your contract can be terminated unilaterally, without any announcement, for example about it. Extremely unreliable developer, I do not advise anyone to deal with them! It is very funny to see how you block the site and the ability to update the application, naively believe that this will go unnoticed. In general, once again - an extremely unreliable business partner, I advise many to think twice before you decide to purchase products or paid subscriptions from this developer! Настоятельно не рекомендую иметь любые деловые отношения с разработчиком данного приложения, в т.ч. приобретать его товары, услуги или подписываться на платные подписки! Если так случится, что у него или его хозяев изменится мировозрение, он - разработчик этого приложения запросто может заблокировать вас, даже если вы к тем или иным событиям не имеете отношения. И разработчику абсолютно не важно, являетесь ли вы его клиентом, который честно купил их продукт или нет. Например, вы будучи премиум пользователем можете подвергаться спамом от разработчика с навязыванием его мнения, а потом и вовсе без предупреждения можете стать отключенными, считайте ваш договор может быть расторгнут в одностороннем порядке, без какого-либо объявления, например об этом. Крайне не надёжный разработчик, никому не советую иметь с ними дело! Очень смешно видеть, как вы заблокировав сайт и возможности обновления приложения, наивно полагаете, что это будет незамеченным. В общем ещё раз - крайне не надёжный бизнес партнёр, советую многим много раз подумать, прежде чем вы решитесь приобретать у данного разработчика продукты или платные подписки!

Highly not recommended anymore. The author thinks his can add the popup with manipulative propaganda. Whats next? He will brake your browser, or steal your passwords? Who knows.

1) MAJOR OVERSIGHT in new version: after you SEARCH for a bookmark you have misplaced, there is NO WAY WHATSOEVER to actually move it anywhere. How am I supposed to know what group it is in? 2) Even NOW, it often fails to use the NAME you give the bookmark. It just uses the URL or some related text. 3) When trying to type in the name or url, the bookmark editor closes. These last two bugs have been it for years! Still not fixed even with the "upgrade".

It used to be great and had on all my browsers. In Chrome it's now total dog doo. Find something else, or use Edge, still fully functioning, till it gets updated.

Used to be a good fit for a start page to place the links you accessed most often. I don't know what they did now that when it worked it made it unusable... that's when it worked. Now it open a blank tab and there's nothing there. As the old proverb states: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!", I guess here they did the exact opposite.

Since the last update 3.1.0, a lot of features bugged out. I add to remove and reinstall the extension to have my home page load properly. Now, loading the home page is slow. For a fraction of a second I get a white page, then my homepage background loads and another half a second later the thumbnails appear. Also, the recently closed tab panel doesn't work anymore. It doesn't list anything. Finally, it had trouble loading the page capture. At first it loaded only a black background in the thumbnail. Then after 10 min playing in the settings it finally managed to load the page capture without me doing any changes. The option to load a page capture only once or at specific interval has also disappeared, which might be part of the problem causing the slow loading time. Overall, I'd rather go back to the older version.

This would have been a 5-star review before the update removing the sidebar that showed bookmarks and browsing history, which was a unique feature superior to other 'new tab' extensions. Beyond that, it's a UI downgrade. Visual customization options and my preferred theme are gone, and the performance is sluggish beyond belief. I don't understand how this escaped testing, and I will check back periodically to see if the sidebar returns. If it does, I will update my rating. Edit, 3/3/22: Devs fixed performance issues, brought back the sorely missed sidebar with its favorites/bookmarks & browsing history, and returned some visual customization options. Options aren't as extensive as they previously were, but Speed Dial is mostly great again. Rating is updated to 4/5 from 2/5 to reflect this, and would be 5/5 if we had full customization. I'm glad they listened to feedback.

New forced updates constantly removing features in favor or hiding those features in a 'paid' section.

Thumbnails does not work anymore. All that is display is just a black rectangle. I just reinstalled the windows and no more screenshot available, everything is just black, even if i click to reload thumbnail :(

I can't add a new bookmark, since the last version. It's like, the Save button is dead, you click it and it does nothing. What's going on with it?

i'm terribly sorry, but where did all the settins go? what happened to apps and side pannel? can we please have all things back? -- edit -- turns out, it's not that bad and i guess they are bringing features back.. already have a sidebar; i would like to see apps somewhere next :) and if i set a black pixel on a background as a cover - it almost looks like before.

Easy to use & I love the sidebar. Great extension!

After the update I'm missing the bookmarks option at the sidebar. Please bring this to your attention. When you revert this and a few other things other people mention, I will change the review back to 5 stars. If you really want to make the user interface easy to use, just give the people the option between lite mode and expert mode. People who like to customize stuff can use the expert mode. This new bad update with a lot less functions could become the lite mode. Problem solved for everyone!

I loved it for so many years. Now it's downgraded. Stripped of sidebar. Why fix something that's not broken?

After re-skin version 3 of extension, UX is drop down to ZERO. I had excelent ui created by me which is fully good for me, but now you delete all my work space! It's extra disrespectfully for users who used to work with their usual workspace.

Useless update took away a lot of functionality for no reason Edit: sidebar with bookmarks and recently closed is back, you just have to enable them in settings. All is good again

One of my favorite extensions for many years. I do hope that one day it will be possible to add subgroups, I have been missing that feature for a long time now.

as others, love this app for years, but the removal of the sidebar has to be an oversight surely? It was a key part of the addon edit: they have amended this and app is now as good as it's been for years, thanks very much for the hard work

Why you remove the sidebar showing bookmarks and browsing history? Why you update a software without keeping the basic function? See the comments of users in recent days. I would like to call the latest verison is a totally disaster version. ROLL BACK YOUR SO CALLED UPDATE PLEASE.

Used to be 5 stars until the recent upgrade. The option to refresh the thumbnail is gone. When I try to refresh with "page capture" it says creating thumbnail but nothing happens. I wondering if that is now a premium (i.e., $5/yr) feature that used to be included. Count me among the many who view this latest update as a feature downgrade.

The latest update has made a great tool unusable. I use a Windows tablet mainly without a keyboard or mouse. Much of the time I accidentally drag and move icons/tiles when I want to open them. Often they are unresponsive. Often the whole app is unresponsive. Please make the earlier version available as Speeddial2a for those of us who don't like the new one or have problems with it. Start.me beckons although I preferred the quicker add of a bookmark that Speeddial2 offered.

Was the best speed dial option on chrome for a long time, I've had a couple of accounts to seperate personal and work setups, but the recent update removed several features. I liked the bookmark side bar. Also removed several customsation options which is frustrating when tweeking the layout and I have no idea what the devss are doing with the dark/light mode options. They seem to be in both general settings and themes and it's made backgrouds disapear and if I switch to light mode then the immage will show again but the colours are off. Just frustrating, wish I could go back a version or two Still better than most speed dialers but the choice to use Speed Dial 2 isn;t as easy as it once was

Since last update 18 february 2022 the layout totally changed and mostly very small icons. Besides the speeddial screen comes up on every new tab and this is very disturbing. Previous version was very good. Please repair and update!

This is so good. Not over-complicated; just the right amount of customization. This should be the default new tab experience in Chrome.

The latest update completely removed several of my favourite features of this plugin, most importantly the bookmarks in the sidebar.

Been using SpeedDial2 for over 10 years - I've recommended it to many people and consider it a core part of my browsing experience, work efficiency, and virtual privacy. As someone who often screen shares and presents information, SpeedDial2 allows me to curate what others see when I open a browser, and to pre-create tabs with specific bookmarks for demonstrations. I have implemented it as standard practice for educators and service teams in companies in the past, and would do so again. A big update was recently published to set SpeedDial2 up for some quality of life, security, and future enhancements. It was jarring for me, but they reached out to help me get on board and walk me through some changes. I suggest fiddling around with a few features before having a panic attack about the update, like me. It's not as bad as it looks at first glance, and the UI is much cleaner. Unfortunately, a couple less popular items were deprecated at the same time, including the App bar, which I used extensively. It's unfortunate that it had to go, but when I received support from the company, they assured me that I would enjoy future planned feature releases. Overall I'm glad this extension is receiving some love, and while it might not be operating at 100% for me personally right now, I can appreciate that it has a future and planned growth.

New update makes it terrible: slow, bad look, no click count. Looking for substitution...

Another great extension ruined by the most recent update, who needed a revamp ??? Who asked for a new menu, interface and options ??? And now my tabs load slower, sometimes not at all and you've horizontally elongated each square making everything more compressed and leaving me with two huge blank spaces above and below, great work ! P.D.: I just discovered that you guys removed the pop up Bookmarks side bar Yesus !!!, now it deserves ONE STAR !!! The best function it had gets removed ??? Gonna Start looking for a new Speed Dial Tabs extension!!! P.D.D.: I found a way to have the old version back without it updating automatically, when and if these guys decide to go back to the old version (I doubt it) I'll change my vote, meanwhile....YOUR UX TEAM SUX !!!

Worked fine for a few years and then they updated it and it's turned into a dumpster fire. ? The formatting is all wrong and now you can't re-load thumbnails. The super-useful ability to open recently closed tabs is also gone. Time to try a different Speed-Dial extension. I think.

New upgrade is hot garbage and i will be seeking out a new UI. you had something good and had to screw it up, GG. i want my bookmark bar back on the side, or my 5$ back

New update ruined it. Why slightly change how everything looks? Just ruins how we had everything set up. And what happened to the side bar with our history? It was convenient. Just revert all of this.

You call this an "upgrade"?! This is a total "destroy" of a great add-on I used to use for 10 years! Where is the sidebar? Why this ugly white background came to each bookmark icon and why you removed those various customization?! Why do you change something that is working properly for a decade and everyone is happy with? This is not an upgrade! This is such a SHAME! I didn't know COVID has negative effects on brains too!

Sad day for speed dial 2, my condolences to the UI theme team. Please go back to the original concept we all loved. Never to late to make things right.

Forced update on February 17 2022 is not good! I cannot visually find the bookmarks I frequent as the Icon for the site is no longer showing up. I can force it to load a webpage snapshot and that takes a very long time for it to complete. Creating a new bookmark it could hang up for 30 minutes. Quite frankly I am upset with the new upgrade and want my old version back. I rely on this to be usable several times a day, now I am stuck with no usability. Chrome, Windows 10.

The new update is a downgrade. Please return the old one!

This extrension was always my first to install and I always recommend it for it's ease of use and useful features. Unfortuneately the recent update removed the most used feature for me and one of the main reason for it, the "Sidebar" which gave me quick access to bookmarks, history, and recent tabs all in the same place. I will still use it and it will be somewhat helpful, but without the side bar I can't give it a full five stars. I hope they reconsider in future updates.

The old version was great, looked great, worked great. Paid for Pro and used it for years. The new 'improved' version is, of course, a massive downgrade. Seems more more basic. Looks terrible compared to the old version.. and with seemingly less functions. Unless somebody left the team taking their code with them, then this is baffling. And sad.

I can't live without it anymore. I'm glad to see a support so many years. New version lacks some polished features like fit pictures within their borders, now are normal size. I like to add animated gifs for my links and now there is empty space on the sides - there was option to fit them. I like fading on mouse over, this vanished too.

Moved oner from speeddial because of the sidebar - please keep it in this one, alot I think used it and hope there will be a bookmark sidebar too - thats whats made your extention so differt and much cooler and functional then the 10000 others. Would love to not cluch my browser with multible different extentions, where your had it all in one. Keep up the greate work.

Was a great extension until the new "overhaul" update... They removed entire features I was using, the buttons don't load half the time and you have to open a new tab *again* to fix it. Also they simplified the settings menu, which is always the worst thing because in practice it always means "we removed a ton of options so you're limited to what exactly you can do." And that's exactly the case here as well... Shame too, because I've been using this for years and now I have to find something else.

The older version so much better and more features and thats why I had paid for it, you completely destroyed by remove aspect ratio and ugly wide padding, please revert back to the old version.

I love everything about this extension except the fact that the bookmark sidebar was removed. It was such an useful tool. It has now become difficult to open the regular bookmarks.

The 3.0 update is a disaster, please send your UX people back to school and listen to the loyal but upset customers on your blog asking you to undo the terrible changes and reinstate controls you have taken away from your loyal and happy customer base! In the meantime I will be reverting to 2.3.

Just like everyone else says, the last update made this great extension really really bad, now its sluggish and features have been removed?! Please just revert the update

I was using it for years as a customized new tab but after the last update I ll pass. It lost all my customization because as it seems it no longer supports any customization. It now looks like sit. Thanks but no thanks

Grate app becomes absolute junk after the last update. It take ages to load up, and sometimes page loads blank so you have to reload it! I don't know what you guys smoking there, but your last update attempt totally destroy desire to use this app. I hope you reed our comments here, and wold fix it asap.

On the most recent update I lost my customized theme. This product should maintain consistency before asking for money twice from its users.

Please bring back recently close tabs panel that used to appear on the right side of the screen, this feature was so useful, why did you remove it in the recent update?

Removed its most useful feature like the right-side sidebar bar that showed me my resent closed tabs a favorite bookmarks.

Latest update ruined it. Edit: You can roll back your extension from here: https://www.crx4chrome.com/crx/955/ Now everything is right again. Faster load, side bar, etc. :D

Ruined after latest update.

The new update is horrible, i used that recently closed websites side bar every day and now it's gone. Why ruin something that was perfect?!

After last update this extension has become completely inconvenient and useless. Just export your data and forget about it. Don`t worth to further wasting time on it.
