ᴛᴠᴄᴍᴀᴛᴏꜱ (ID: 000000fb19bc9f5d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/21/2023 I'm keeping the website account but will no longer be using it so constantly as the extension keeps overrunning my preferred new tab page. I've switched to Toby, which isn't as cool-looking as Wakelet, but at least they have a Toby Mini extension that allows us to add stuff to our collections without forcing a new tab page upon us. Maybe you could do the same? (Then I would definitely be back to Wakelet because it is more visually interesting to me).

Luca Pranay (ID: 000000527b799f1f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/16/2023 The concept is awesome, bringing a very useful tool to humanity - however, why the f. does this extension insists on capturing the Chrome's start page? an no option to disable it Will give 5 stars when problem is solved

Agnieszka Halicka (ID: 000000b0eafabaf6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/12/2022 It's a great extension! I love Wakelet and I'm really glad to have an option to save bookmarks on the go.

Vesa Tamminen (ID: 00000094a2e4c2a0) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/31/2022 First 5 star, but when it breaks Brave NTP (new tab page) and their support ticket system only offers endless recaptcha-issue, i will temporarily change my rating to 1 star. When extension will restore normal NTP (if changed), it will use chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html address, and if you go to Brave NTP-settings, all Brave default sites are now broken, even when you change these settings. You can fix this via homepage-settings, where browser will point out that this extension is controlling these settings, once you restore (button at the end of the notice), all will work just ok. I will fix my rating, when the issue it is fixed.
