Maksim Miropoltsev (ID: 0000004e0f1abc5e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/11/2017 Great! The best speed dial extension for Chrome. Here are the best things: 1. It shows only Chrome bookmarks, thus you do not need to do additional synchronization. 2. Minimalistic. Stay the same. 3. Changable icons and icon sizes. 4. Really fast. Still there are some bugs. Here are a list of bugs and some ideas on how you might do it even better: 1. Bug. When I try to change favicon and it cannot be loaded, bookmark disappears from the page (the only way to get it back is to delete it manually from Chrome bookmarks and add it again). 2. May you change page title (i mean, title of the tab) or make it chahgable? Now it is named "Start!". 3. Please add Search bar! I know I can search via the address bar, but once I click on the page anywhere, address bar becomes inactive so I need to click on it before typing, it's inconvinient. 4. Please add an ability to load background from the file. When I think of something else, I will write right away. Anyway, thank you for your work!
