- Beautiful and modern design with a simple and intuitive user interface. Haven't had any glitches or crashes. If you're like me and like to customize everything just right, the ability to turn on/off individual selectors as well as write your own custom CSS is extremely powerful (and a bit addictive). I've learnt a ton playing around with it. Luckily, the developer is really responsive, if I don't know how to get exactly what I want, he does it for me!
- Dennis Johansson
- Great addon for the way I use chrome with a lot of neat features, and most importantly excellent support (initially emailed the developer and later on received a lot of assistance through their discord)
- Rory Hill
- Amazing! I love this and it is my favorite new tab extension! Very customizable! Spotify widget is broken i think, so 4.5/5
- Eddyson
- Wish there was a way to have custom html widgets and customize the widgets sizes and just a normal google search bar
- Jan Seidler
- This t ruly looks awesome. Unfortunately, for me the Hue bridge discovery is not working (yes, the bridge is on the same network, and no there's no VPN involved - it also works with other apps on the same machine), so not sure about this part. But even without it this is very useful. A pity the discovery doesn't work for me.

- This is really cool but for some reason it wont let me 'create scenes'. Also can't position widgets to where I would like (in edit mode) - the widget just snaps to a random place when trying to move it. EDIT: Ignore the last part. To add scenes you have to have saved some in the hue app for the option to appear on this extension.
