Francis (ID: 000000f38bb16ff9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/01/2020 非常棒的一点是,不同于其它标签页扩展,它在调为夜间模式之后,再次打开不会先闪一下白屏。

Tiago Relvão (ID: 00000027e5660c92) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/30/2020 Great APP to save & find relevant content- As previous user of Stumbleupon love this app that suggests you the most relevant articles out there.

Backside 909 (ID: 000000249e6afaec) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/01/2019 I really enjoy using Refind, and I would give this new tab extension for it a five star rating if it had the ability to choose which reading list was displayed on the new tab page. The clean, distraction-free page would be perfect for displaying content I wanted to make sure to follow up on -- instead of trying to distract me with new suggested reading that isn't always as relevant as I would like.
