WSD Speed Dial
Extension Actions
Visual speed dial for your new tab: groups, nested folders, screenshots. Stored in your own bookmarks — no account, no tracking.
WSD Speed Dial turns your new tab page into a board of the sites you
actually use, each with its own screenshot.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
Your tiles are stored as ordinary browser bookmarks — not in a
database we control. Three things follow from that:
• Browser sync works out of the box. Add a tile on one machine, it
appears on the other.
• Your data is never locked in. Open the bookmark manager any time
and there it is.
• Uninstalling doesn't lose anything. The bookmarks stay.
WHAT IT DOES
Tiles
- Screenshots are captured automatically when you add a page
- Don't like the image? Pick another candidate, upload a file, or
give an image address
- Notes, color labels, visit counters
- Named tags with your own colors, several per tile; open search to
see all tags and click one to list its tiles across every group
- Drag to reorder, drag to move between groups
- One-off sorting by name, visits or date added
Groups and folders
- Groups in the top bar; reorder by dragging
- NESTED FOLDERS inside groups, exactly like your bookmark folders:
a folder tile shows a preview of its first four sites, click to go
in, a path bar shows where you are
- Back / forward like a file explorer: mouse side buttons, Alt+Left /
Alt+Right; Backspace goes up one folder
- Drag tiles onto a folder to move them; drag folders to reorder or
to put one inside another
- 22 icons, custom emoji or a site favicon for groups and folders;
notes, color labels, background color and a cover image for folders
- Move dialog shows groups and folders as a tree; search finds folders
too
Your data
- Backup and restore (folder structure included); imports from older
WSD and from FVD Speed Dial
- Import your existing browser bookmarks: every top-level folder
becomes a group and its subfolders stay as folders
- Broken link scan
- Export as a standalone HTML page
- Trash: deleted tiles and groups are kept for 30 days
- Storage monitor with a warning before space runs out
- Consistency check that finds missing images and duplicates
- Open tabs stay in sync with each other
Looks
- Wallpaper, background tinting (hue shift or duotone)
- Tile ratio, size, spacing, borders
- One corner setting for tiles, tabs, menus, windows and buttons
- Group bar colors and size; side toolbar can auto-hide
PRIVACY
No account. No servers. No analytics. Nothing leaves your browser.
The only outbound requests are the page you asked to capture, and
optionally a favicon lookup if you choose that as a group icon.
