Daniël Crompton (ID: 0000009f64b93225) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/04/2014 I liked the concept, but the pages load too slowly to be useful. What I disliked most of all I discovered that they inject Google Analytics into all the sites I visit.

Oskar Kornecki (ID: 0000000099cbf852) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/03/2014 Great idea, but the UI needs work. 1. The sidebar shouldn't be on top of the website because it blocks the content - have it push the content out. 2. The look and feel needs work. 3. I like to have access to my bookmarks on the NTP, so please add a bookmark bar to the top similar to the default NTP. Some people have suggested that a like/save feature would be good, but I think that's what bookmarks are for!
