Andrew Isom (ID: 0000007f39639d44) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/17/2018 I REALLY like this a lot. I don't look at my Pocket saves frequently enough, but this encourages me to. I particularly like that you can make it sepia toned. I despise white backgrounds and don't mind black backgrounds, but sepia looks much nicer. The one drawback is that you lose your bookmarks bar, with no option (yet?) to have it with the new tab page. This is a dealbreaker for me. The developer mentioned that he could add it on the support tab to another user, but I don't see it yet. I requested it as well. When this option is added, it will be flawless and earn that fifth star.
