- (2023-11-07) dasein: been using this extension for quite sometime. but not being able to backup the icon files is a huge defect. please make it happen!
- (2023-10-26) fasoentaza: I cant add new shorcuts pls fix it
- (2023-09-29) Lorre Fl: 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.
- (2023-08-28) Suna: I cant add new shorcuts pls fix it
- (2023-08-24) Tyler Owl: Same as everyone where nothing works. I can't add widgets or shortcuts or anything at all. Nothing gets added to the page
- (2023-08-11) Kevin Opperman: 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.
- (2023-07-10) Bubbses Reload: Used to love it, no longer works
- (2023-07-08) Adrian Fox: 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.
- (2023-05-29) Jude Einhorn: I can't even add widgets to it. This extension sucks.
- (2023-05-04) Max Chen: 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.
- (2023-02-09) Cameron Moore: I've used this extension for years. Awesome New Tab Page was a MUST HAVE extension for me, but recently began to slide downhill and now no longer works. Really quite a shame. I dread going back to Google's new tab page after all this time.
- (2023-02-05) Leo Hernandez: use to be my favaorite extension, now it doesnt work anymore
- (2023-01-20) Chris Olson: This used to be my favorite extension because it was completely customizable. Now it just doesn't work for me anymore. I just can't click on any boxes because they do absolutely nothing, nor can I put apps in my tabs because they don't show up.
- (2023-01-12) Paul Porter: I just tried to switch back to this after using a different new tab tool. Nothing works. Can't add widgets. I unlocked the page. Clicked and dragged a widget to the surface, but it doesn't stick. My page is totally blank. Has development stopped on this?
- (2022-12-31) Jenae Pavlak: It doesn't work. I added the extension, unlocked the grid, and pressing the "+" does absolutely nothing. I clicked on the apps button on the left, clicked add, picked a grid square and it highlighted the square with the app logo and then nothing. I was really excited that this may be what I have been looking for but it's not currently usable.
- (2022-12-27) Tawny Trankovich: Well my weather wasn't working so I reset all of ANTP it and now I can't do anything. Can't add widgets, can't add links. Can't click on a tile to add links as it is greyed out and yes I unlocked it. Please fix.
- (2022-12-24) Klaus Massler: That would be a nice extension - if it worked properly. For me, the thumbnails always disappear, and they can only be restored with many annoying attempts.
- (2022-12-19) Esberto Herrera: since the las update is no longer working,back in the day was awesome
- (2022-12-16) Ricardo Cordero Dávila: ya no funciona para la versión 108. no deja incluir más íconos
- (2022-12-09) Nic M: New Tab Tools is better but I can't seem to get it. This one doesn't work at all, I click the grid while unlocked and nothing happens. I lay widgets & nothing happens. I give up going to find something else.
- (2022-12-09) Walyson Alves: I can't configure it anymore, I use this extension for years, but now it just cannot be configured. I'd love continue with it, but now it's a jug, usefull.
- (2022-09-08) Phone Phone: It updated and removed all of my bookmark tab things. What's the point in using this if you're just going to nuke everything I had.
- (2022-06-16) xiang拉登: 通过 ‘hover图标’ 触发 ‘在图标上部直接搜索事件’,很多时候触发不了,只有点击过‘左侧的锁’之后 才能触发‘图标上部直接搜索事件’。 I can‘t use {the hover icon search}, until I doubleclick the left lock🔒。 hope you can resove this problem!hontoriarigato
- (2022-03-02) Agostina Arbo Y Blanco: Me re gusta, desde q lo encontré no lo dejo de usar. He tenido algún q otro problemita pero no son la gran cosa además de q no se me complica solucionarlo, pero por lo demás diez de diez. ♥
- (2022-02-27) Облачко: Block widgets
- (2021-12-03) Alexander Berkovich: Spent time to do the page to my liking and was enjoying it for several days. Until everything gone because the extension has updated, thank you very much!
- (2021-10-06) Matthew M: Works fine, but was better before they remade how the tile grid works and when it offered a notepad widget
- (2021-07-29) Andrew “파덕이황”: 크롬 업데이트할때마다 설정해둔 아이콘 이미지가 업로드 안되어서 다시 지정해야하네요 이거 언제 오류 고침?
- (2021-06-11) jean: No funciona correctamente en Opera GX, hay alguna solución?
- (2021-04-19) K.Y Chen: input box cannot display cursor Version 2020.442.69
- (2021-04-02) Hans Zamboanga: there is a bug with the Grid Width.. it changes the number itself..
- (2021-03-03) Marcos Lli: Está increible
- (2021-02-21) Arturo Cortés: El muy buena y muy personalizable pero aunque encienda la opción de no mostrar botones de izquierda hasta tocarlos cada vez que abro una pestaña nueva se quedan ahi por un segundo hasta que desaparecen es bastante molesto y no me deja usarla tranquilo espero haya solución agradecería sus respuestas.
- (2021-02-20) scara: I like it, but I wish I could change the size of the widgets, but overall it's great!
- (2020-12-10) Miko Huang: Tutorial says "Here you'll find all of the apps that you've installed from the Chrome Web Store." But, I don't see any of my apps installed from the Chrome Web Store. It's VERY VERY difficult to add a tab for me. You need to provide a youtube video for using this extension.
- (2020-11-30) Charles Shin: Like it, not love it. Wish I could customize the size of the tiles (not the number of tiles available).
- (2020-11-24) iifloxra: deleted this instantly this is horrible i dont reccemoned it and you have to unlock wigets was annoying
- (2020-11-24) Vincent Langemeijer: Once you figure out how it works, it's pretty good. Most annoying thing for me was figuring out how to fit my personal background image to the screen. To save everybody else some time, you can do this by entering "center center/cover no-repeat fixed" (without quotation marks) after the background image's url.
- (2020-11-20) Christian Eff: The idea is great, unfortunately execution isn't. There's a lot of recurring bugs. The color picker never closes, background disappears, the tile icons reappear, row and coloumn count in settings tab keeps getting higher once you hovered over the small arrow and so on. FIX THIS bugs and it is a 5-star extension.
- (2020-10-08) Juan Pablo Mariscal: Me encanta el diseño, muy recomendado. Aunque me gustaría que permitiera modificar el tamaño de los iconos.
- (2020-10-06) hns: last update is dogshit
- (2020-10-05) Luís Mariano: A recent change to the widget (read: the icons that pop out when you hover the mouse on the left side of the page are now always out) have made me dislike it.
- (2020-09-15) PauStockli: Very useful and 100% customizable
- (2020-09-04) Vincent Grinn: latest update causes fav icon and name to reappear every time its opened
- (2020-09-04) Wesley van Peer: Since today suddenly the Name and Favicon of the websites are shown in the boxes of Awesome New Tab Page. Although all the switches are OFF, still the names and favicons are shown. This is quite annoying. Resetting the settings back to default didn't work either. Can this please be fixed? (I can send screenshots if need be)
- (2020-09-04) Omar Ihab: Using it for years, but what's up with the latest update today making all the favicons and names appear?
- (2020-09-04) swalsugmass: Since the latest update the Show/ Hide Name setting and the Show/ Hide Favicon setting resets.
- (2020-08-23) Ken Win Kok: Seems like it intermittently makes your search bar Yahoo search which is really annoying because Google search knows what I expect to see when I search for things, Yahoo does not. I've tried to turn it off in the settings and extensions settings but it doesn't seem to work. Only noticed the difference when in incognito mode where I have ANTP disabled, so I've never had a problem with Yahoo search in incognito mode.
- (2020-07-11) Douglas Rodrigues Ponciano: I love this extension! I installed it a few minutes ago and finished configuring it all, my way. It seems very stable and functional. Also, the visuals are very clean. I hope it keeps working well and I'm going to use it for a long time. Thanks!
