Hari Prasath (ID: 0000000d2d22857b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/05/2024 Very neat. I think I finally found my New Tab extension to use forever. But I do hope they add more features over time. Like the weather widget can have customizable icon position for today's weather. And it would also be really helpful to have some text read out the weather, like "cloudy" or "light rain".

serf gh (ID: 000000421ccb752c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/03/2024 уже настроил версию 4.0.2, поправил файл с переводом, всё хорошо, тут бац, выходит версия 4.0.4. снова никого не спрашивая обновляется, перевод кривой, где в каких файлах его теперь править неизвестно... .... версия 4.5.0, продолжаю править "4 Март" на "4 Марта"... каждую новую версию...

H (ID: 0000005ace25ddb1) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 This used to be great, but with the new update it has just become unnecessarily complicated to make changes and it doesn't look nearly as good as it did before. Also, I had spent a fair bit of time setting it up exactly how I wanted it and then with the new update it's all gone and I have to start from scratch again.

M. Jabali (ID: 000000786902b031) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/30/2023 Amazing, I sort of dislike how hard is it to customize the screen compared to other extensions where you can simply drag bookmarks into it and drag things around, but honestly, how often does one need to customize it anyways... Few suggestions and ideas in case the dev is looking for them: - Maybe have an option for quick links to take logo images instead of favicons, or maybe customizable image? The 16x16 icon just doesn't cut it it either looks tiny as an ant or pixelated on my screen. - Add chrome://settings and chrome://extensions to special links, tried adding it with normal links and it doesn't work. - Few more widgets like one to play music from YouTube or Spotify would be nice
