Hannah “Pribbz” Pribik (ID: 00000000efde3a1f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/19/2021 Really like this News Tab extension. I can finally pick my own news websites and no longer have to look at unrelated ads! Can't wait to see what other improvements are made. Great Job!

John Myers (ID: 000000da39fae727) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/12/2021 Good, simple, effective new tab screen. Much better than the default and at least my page isn't polluted by ads like with Microsofts offering :D I'd like to be able to change the background colour though ;)
