Oliver Relph-Evans (ID: 000000da24de267d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/08/2021 Aesthetically this is a very pleasing extension. I really like the fact that it requires barely any permissions so I know that it is not tracking me. There is one thing I would like to see added though, that would dramatically improve the overall experience for me. And that is the ability to add custom visual icons for lesser known sites to the speed dial. Currently, unless it is a well known site like YouTube or Facebook, the speed dial just shows the first two letters of the name of the site and you have to hover over it to see the full name. This makes it a little harder to recognise instantly than those sites with a recognisable icon (like the YouTube play button for example). The ability to add a custom icon for a site not already listed in the extension would make it a full five stars from me.
