  • (2023-09-01) Marko Milojkovic: New tab doesn't focus on the address bar, its supper annoying
  • (2023-07-11) Mark P: every time you add something .. the customization window closes.. its annoying as hell cant drag and drop shortcuts to folders - broken cant set weather - broken video wallpaper is amazing widgets could use work... more would be great. icon size change and shape change would be a bonus
  • (2023-01-29) YuQian Zhao: 搜索栏为什么无法像其他widget那样编辑,我想将搜索引擎换成google
  • (2022-08-20) Onur Korkmaz: It's really good, I would love to see a widget to add pictures (PNG Supported) and resize/ relocate however we like. This simple addon can create a lot of personalization options.
  • (2022-05-30) Kurt Biesemans: I love this extension!!! I use it every day. With the latest version some (little) issue came up but these we quickly and professionally solved by Tim. Much appreciated!
  • (2022-05-28) Patrick Forbes: Great app and customer service. Lost my home page, and they sent complete backup to me by email. Did you people whining about the data loss bother to contact them?
  • (2022-05-26) Guido Schmitter: The new backup function works really well! Good job! I'm excited to see what's next! The support was excellent!
  • (2022-05-25) V V: Don't trust this extension, it will just delete all your progress and take away features. What's the point? Ridiculous
  • (2022-05-23) Tommy Geoco: Loved this at first, used it as my 1-man business dashboard for all of my critical shortcuts to my different tech and marketing stacks. Came back one day to see the entire dashboard had been cleared and defaulted back to the original out-of-the-box view. Can't have that happen. Huge productivity loss.
  • (2022-05-23) Rulesless: This morning’s update erased all the settings and then the links saved on the extension. As if that were not enough now it's impossible decide which search engine use, preset is Google. The developers did not respond, I hoped throughout the day that they would release a downgrade, but nothing.
  • (2022-05-23) Hunter Jefferson: Today's update makes this extension worthless. Not only did it delete all of my home page's customizations, you can no longer copy settings to other browsers and other computers.
  • (2022-03-25) Adeganel: Could be better
  • (2022-03-25) Isabel Perry: Honestly, it's a nice extension, but it's missing some features which I feel like it should have. For example, I could place the weather widget, and it looks nice & is useful, but let's say I don't want a background on the widget, what I'd expect was for a extension such as this to allow me to turn off a widgets background, or customize it in some other way, but I cannot. I also hate the settings button at the top, I'd rather be able to turn it off & use a shortcut like ctrl + shift + l or something to access to setting, or at least be able to move and resize the settings button like everything else. If there are changes such as described made, then I'll 100% use this extension again in the future.
  • (2022-02-23) Tamás Jakab: Very good, but it has shortcomings. It would be nice to have a button or option to add the open tabs to a specific workspace. If someone wants to switch to this from another similar app and has a lot of saved stuff, it makes it harder. That's how I went ...
  • (2022-02-02) K Wong: definitely a game changer that enhance my chrome dramatically
  • (2022-01-01) Seamus Slater: I was looking for simple, neat and fast home page extension. SquarePage is the best ever!!!
  • (2021-12-27) Chan Nicole: very useful extension i was recovery my computer by no choice with limited time (so i forgot to to backup T_T) and once I dl Chrome, I realized i didn't do anything about Chrome so i tried to find out which extension i've used before luckily, I found it, it makes me feel safe again
  • (2021-06-18) Lone Tester: I have used so many different start/home page extensions but this is by far the best. I combination of all the right options, simple, clean, highly efficient page that just makes everything right there!
  • (2021-05-11) Fred Sexton: Simple and Saves Time Took me like 3 minutes to install. Like that it's got options for customizing what widgets and how I want stuff displayed. The video background is neat plus too, gotten some comments about that. I've got Amazon and Google search bars here which saves me a fair amount of time.
  • (2021-05-07) Thomas Reynolds: Blown away by the quality and features of this extension! Google should be ashamed by how inferior the default is compared to this. I'd give this 10 stars if I could.
  • (2021-02-16) Oscar Ade Gunawan: its very nice, almost perfect. there is just one weakness. please make it load faster, make it works offline. and i suggest to add a bit more feature. for example, to make it focus on the search bar at startup, or to add the custom animation background, etc
  • (2021-02-09) Sagar Naliyapara: Great new tab dashboard with lots of features. Best one I've seen!
  • (2021-02-08) Admin G: One of the best start pages ive seen yet! Everything is customizable, even the search engine which most are not. The pages feature is awesome too!
  • (2021-02-01) Erdal Yenigül: Best start page extension ever! You should try.
  • (2021-01-26) Mahmoud Amira: Nice work
  • (2020-09-30) Chris Harkey: Best new tab extension, by a mile. There are so many widgets and backgrounds to pick from. Nice work!
  • (2020-09-23) Lotfio Lakehal: Very useful extension !
  • (2020-08-21) April S: An improved way to use my new tab feature. I love the background customization and the saved bookmark functionality. It makes for a much better internet experience!
  • (2020-08-21) Justin Simons: Nice and clean. I like the idea of using it as a way to manage bookmarks I need to keep top of mind.
  • (2020-08-18) Conner Ring: SO much better than the default New Tab page. The animated backgrounds look amazing in fullscreen, and the shortcut customization/dark mode make for a very clean/minimal browsing experience.
  • (2020-08-17) Bob Regular: Very simple and useful. I really love the animated backgrounds and quick google or amazon searching from my desktop.
  • (2020-08-14) Matthew Cabral: Nice extension. Lots of options and features with some nice animated backgrounds.

  • (2022-08-12, v:6.2.17) Rico Paris: Unable to put shortcuts into folder
    Hi, Thanks for this very useful extension. Unable to put shortcuts into folder. Same problem as reported by Tomaszek - 3 Jun "Dragging them, as suggested, makes them disappear and when you refresh the page they back at their old place and the folder is still empty." Any updates on a fix? Using version 6.2.17
  • (2022-06-03, v:6.2.3) Tomaszek: Can't add shortcuts to folders
    How to add shortcuts to folders? Dragging them, as suggested, makes them disappear and when you refresh the page they back at their old place and the folder is still empty.
  • (2022-05-23, v:6.2.0) Hank Evans: all icon removed
    all icon has been romvoved after the last update
  • (2022-01-15, v:6.1.7) Onur Korkmaz: Low quality icons?
    Hello, when I try to add some custom websites into my favorites their favicons are so low quality, in my case It's Reddit. How can we fix it or can we add a custom Icon from our drive somehow?
  • (2021-09-26, v:6.1.2) Farhad Hafezi: Synchronize on different computers
    Hi. I like your extension a lot, it is intuitive and easy-to-use. Just one question. Even when I am logged in with my google account on different computers, my bookmarks do not seem to synchronize, i.e. between my laptop and my work desktop. I cannot find the setting that would allow me to sync these settings.
  • (2021-06-29, v:6.1.2) Brent Rossow: Wrong city in weather section
    I don't know what Saint Peter it's pulling up, but when I put my current location in (Saint Peter, Minnesota, 56082) it's giving me a forecast for some other location -- not even close to current conditions/forecast. Had to pick another town nearby. Need some better logic there.
  • (2021-05-17, v:5.2.0) DARL HORN: how do I get directions
    I CAN NOT GET DRIVING DIRECTIONS
  • (2021-05-07, v:5.0.0) Thomas Reynolds: Minor suggestions
    Love this extension, thought I'd submit a couple minor suggestions that would make it even better. 1: It'd be nice to be able to add multiple shortcuts at once, instead of re-opening that menu every time. Makes it a tiny bit tedious when setting it up for the first time and adding a lot of shortcuts at once. 2: For the countdown widget, it'd be nice to have checkboxes to choose which time increments we want to display, in order to reduce the size of the widget by hiding some of the intervals the user doesn't need. I don't need to see seconds for my countdown that has 30 days to go. 3: It'd be cool to add folders on a page have multiple shortcuts within that folder. So similar shortcuts can be grouped together in one icon to save space. Again, these are very minor, overall this extension is excellent. Great work by the developer(s)!
  • (2021-03-01, v:4.7.0) Jonathan Cooper: syncing
    using two devices logged in to the same chrome account, it appears the sync does not work between the devices. I am unable to keep both start pages the same on both devices.
  • (2021-02-23, v:4.5.0) Mark Lattimore: Weather Widget
    When trying to change location for weather widget, get an "Error" in the widget. Any thoughts?
  • (2021-02-20, v:4.5.0) Janey R: How do I have you as my default?
    Whjen I go to the "Home" icon it gies to Google? If I close out of Chrome, then when I open, it goes to Google again rather than Start Page? I have set it as my default but it only defauilts when I have it open and search new pages.
  • (2021-02-08, v:4.4.3) Admin G: Live backgrounds and image daily rotator
    Would like even more live backgrounds! They are awesome so far. Also would love to have a feature that would show different backgrounds daily. Otherwise great extension so far, keep up the good work!
  • (2020-10-09, v:2.3.0) Sandy Lee: Remove from Chrome
    Want to remove the start page
