- (2023-09-17) Artem Luzik: It looks AMAZING. But "most visited websites"? Really? Without custom shortcuts, it's pretty pointless...
- (2023-08-18) auds x: please fix shortcuts! i wanna be able to customize my own like with original chrome. other that that i love it!
- (2023-07-10) A A (Sammy The 2nd): yummy
- (2023-06-20) K: 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.)
- (2023-04-19) Fun zone: Cool but I want my custom shortcuts :(
- (2023-03-05) Sawyer Rumshas: BEAUTIFUL I WANNA MARRY IT! but in all honesty tho, its great i love it! gives off that nice old windows feel.
- (2022-04-02) Ovak: this is pretty cool but has some problems like i cant customize if i want shortcuts displaying and adding new backgrounds is kinda glitchy, i cant add more than 2 extra or the save button just doesn't work
- (2022-02-23) Da Boyz: It dident work at all
- (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.
- (2021-11-05) ClearOpus: 1 problem No feature to edit shortcuts
- (2021-05-02) Felix Storrie: would be top tier if you added a weather tracker of something
- (2021-04-30) Quinn Diaz: I am currently changing my Windows 10 Theme to the Old Windows 95... This was an amazing choice! Great job, I would 100% recommend it, it is very well designed.
- (2021-04-14) Rex Doniz: La simplicidad y belleza que siempre busco... perfecto. GRAN TRABAJO DAVID! Te amo y no te conozco.
- (2021-04-08) Nova Box: Quite like the extensions, but I wish you could customize the shortcuts, or have easy access to bookmarks. Other than that love it. pretty cool

- (2021-01-31) Brandon Barajas: 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
- (2021-01-13) Malek Gomaa: 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.
- (2020-12-04) Alex Coca: i love it but i would like to add more than 6 wallpapers
- (2020-10-28) santi boza: 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 :)
