Latest reviews

Gianpaolo Dentice 2025-10-03: Still a good tool even after Chrome changes. Since import/export does not work anymore and waiting for an actual fix, in the meantime it could be quite useful for users to know where the "homepage" is stored, so that we can save it as a backup. Issues with typing while adding a new box can be overridden by using an external editor (e.g. Notepad) and then copying/pasting into the input fields
Jack Patterson 2025-09-12: Broken. Any time I try to add a url and use the letters W or S, it changes the screen and won't finish what I'm typing. At this point, 100% useless... make that 101%. Otherwise, looks like it could be a great tool someday. Removing it from Chrome.
mateo riefel 2025-09-09: prime
Mike Ziak 2025-09-06: Works great, but custom icons keep disappearing. I re-upload them and they work for a few days, but then will disappear. Certain letters also dont work when typing in a title for a tile, like the letter 's'. Typing S causes the Tile Editor to close.
Eric L 2025-08-27: I have used this for a couple of years now. It is a really great extension and much prefer it over the default Chrome home screen.
Ross 2025-08-13: Really great extension, I've been using it for years now and much prefer it as my home screen than the Chrome default. Though could someone tell me where the local settings files are stored? I had to nuke Chrome and now it's all gone and the backup restore feature isn't working in current version and I really don't fancy setting up 40+ tiles manually again. Also, does anyone know how to get it to stop responding to the letters S, E, L as shortcuts? Can't type in the URL or name bars without opening shortcut windows or locking the icons.
Raul Gonzalez 2025-08-10: works again, thanks
Howell Goehle 2025-08-01: Ok but when I make widgets it is constantly going into different menus which is very frustrating. I think the hotkeys are not needed. 5 star otherwise though.
Rory Harper 2025-07-18: I just loaded this and it looks good and seems to have the functionality I need. However! -- The keyboard shortcuts for the Lock icon and the Widgets icon are L and W, respectively, and they don't differentiate between upper and lower cases. Looks like the letter S is also a hotkey and aborts text entry. When I try to label a shortcut in the grid, the text box doesn't have exclusive focus, so text entry blows up whenever I use one of those keys for the label. For instance when I try to label a GMail icon, it aborts at Gmai and locks the icon. This is broken, but should be an easy fix. Either define focus better, or use CTRL-L, CTRL-S, and CTRL-W. Even better, just don't use hotkeys at all. They're superfluous for an app like this. I'll delete or modify this review as soon as y'all have a fix.
Karl Dybvik 2025-06-20: This has been my whole company go to extension for years. Now the developer has not updated it to work with the latest chrome. So you cannot save, export or import your setup. For me this means RIP Awesome new page tab

John Arnold 2025-04-23: Valuable but the export function has quit working. This is after recent Windows 10 updates. Maybe there is a workaround or a fix in the future?
Nick F 2025-03-25: The weather feature on it has started working again! Glad to still be using it.

Lorre Fl 2023-09-29: I used this for years and I loved it. But since a few weeks I have a new laptop and I can't add any bookmarks. I kinda bummed because it is the only one so far I've found that let's you add bookmarks wherever you want. The other ones I've tried out only let you add bookmarks next to each other with no gaps.

Kevin Opperman 2023-08-11: Abandoned Project, No Customization I was excited to customize my Google homepage with this extension, but it's a complete letdown. The developers seem to have given up, leaving the tool non-functional. Disappointed and still searching for a solution.

Adrian Fox 2023-07-08: A problem I keep experiencing is that having established a whole series of icons and graphics to place on the page, they work initially when I install them, but suddenly many of them just disappear from some of items. I check and the graphic is still there in my 'icons' folder and the Awesome page is directed to the file but nothing I can do will make them appear. Has anybody else experienced this and know if there is a solution to disappearing graphics. It very much diminishes the use of the utility as otherwise I might just as well use one of the other tab pages which don't include custom graphics.

Max Chen 2023-05-04: Tips: For people wants to keep using this addon. If yours doesn't work, you might try the "import" function. I imported my old data, then it works fine again.
