Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 18650830, a month ago1. the time formatting for clocks is incorrect / wonky.
1.1. PST - 8 displays incorrect time.
1.2. EST displays incorrect time.
1.3. CST displays incorrect time.
1.4 Auto shows Los Angeles as the location name with the time showing East Coast EST time. Horribly done there.
2. there's no integration for background images. Users are forced outside the extension to a 3rd party website wherein, they're required to create accounts and create collections of images that this extension pulls from. Too cumbersome- should be built in to make it easier like how Tabliss does it. No need to create collections and then input the URL hyperlink into the extension to which, half the time when I tried it, it didn't work as expected / wonky results.
3. Laggy upon scrolling due to the iOS looking wrapper / UI unless one has enabled hardware acceleration to which, on my Mac, jacks up the power supply consumption into MAX wattage current draw and spikes the CPU temp to 100C and locks the browser up.
4. The greeting section is very nicely done and the way they coded in column / page layout options - two thumbs up.
5. The font selection is very wonky and crashed Firefox v157. Vision impairment issues - attempting to facilitate fonts for vision - setting it to Atkinson Hyperlegible locked the machine up solid - required a force quit to which, FF didn't let go of the process in Activity Monitor due to this extension holding it in limbo until the machine was rebooted. SF Pro Text was fine seeing as it is an Apple standard 101 font. But, here's the thing - the fonts never changed on the display.
Great ideas and a wonderful clean look - love it and for that, fantastic. However, too many bugs and broken items that don't work such as font changes, time clocks, time zones and so forth. Keep at it, i'll reinstall and give it a go later.
Cheers
