Brock Symington 2024-11-10: I like it a lot, I just wish you can have power over being able to change or remove shortcuts. This was the reason I stopped using the tab a while ago when I first got this new tab. Because there are shortcut's that I don't want such easy access too such as Instagram or Youtube because I find them addictive and easily distractive, and unfortunately you don't have a choice over the shortcuts on display.
Fidel Roman Estanislao 2024-10-29: I like it very much, wish there's an option to add any custom shortcut instead of shortcuts to most visited site :)
Mahaley 2024-09-14: Love this, works amazingly. Great aesthetics. Please don't delete it!

Fadhilla Rizki 2023-12-08: This is what I've been looking for! It'd be better if we can customize our shortcuts tho :3
Artem Luzik 2023-09-17: It looks AMAZING. But "most visited websites"? Really? Without custom shortcuts, it's pretty pointless...

K 2023-06-20: Really awesome and I LOVED how you can choose your own image instead of only having the pre-existing 2 but my issue is that I have 2 monitors and no matter what I tried to do it only changed one wallpaper and it's the smaller monitor off to the side. (And no offense but the bright pink doesn't look well, especially with the blue and the lonely statue.)

Anonymous 2022-01-27: I love this extension but I'd love if there was a way I could turn off the "quick links" or "Show most visited websites' so that the only thing on screen is the search bar.

Brandon Barajas 2021-01-31: I love the old school windows aesthetic and this fits perfectly but there is one problem i have which is that sometimes websites i barely even use go to my shortcuts and that's the only problem i have. 5 stars from me

Malek Gomaa 2021-01-13: This is exactly the aesthetic im looking for it is awesome and its legit a whole vibe it is so awesome that you can add your own wallpapers but one thing i would suggest is that you let us edit the links under the engine other than that i am astounded and very satisfied with this product.

santi boza 2020-10-28: it was really cool, and the custom wallpaper where we can upload our own pictures was really cool. however sometimes it would delete the wallpapers i had uploaded and i would have to re-upload it over and over, and sometimes it would bring back the uploads i have deleted, and i would have to delete it. over and over. other than that it's really cool :)
