Тимофей Устинов (ID: 00000005ec5ee4e9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/05/2023 Достаточно неплохое расширение на первый взгляд. Выглядит достаточно интересно,по сравнению с многими из этой категории. К главному минусу могу приподнести тот факт,что нет погоды,вообще,как было заявлено

Геннадий Разинкин (ID: 0000001a067a249e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/12/2022 Пока что, делюсь лишь самыми первыми впечатлениями от этого приложения: 1) При клике на пиктограмме "шестерни" - открывается меню с названием:- "Настроки" вместо "Настройки"! (Исправьте, пожалуйста!)...2) Само меню настроек - довольно бедное!...3) Довольно неудобно реализована панель быстрого доступа к избранным сайтам (круглые окошки, вместо прямоугольных, в которые приходится вставлять предварительно сохранённые(!?!) и не масштабируемые(!) эмблемы(или логотипы) сайтов! Почему бы не сделать так, чтобы они копировались автоматически, как это сделано в сервисе от Яндекса?!)....
