simple and convenient add-on

A nice extension. I use it in Chrome and Firefox. But in Firefox there are sites that never appear in the Most Visited list (being indeed frequently visited). In Chrome it works perfectly.

Humble New Tab Page is pretty neat.

It might not seem like much, but this is something I interact with virtually every time I'm using my internet browser, and for my tastes, a nice customized display of my bookmarks is really all I ever want when I open a new tab, other than a search bar- and the browsers address bar takes care of that.

It hasn't exactly added any new features, or had any major changes in years- but that's fine. This extension is fine to be in a maintenance mode, of sorts, development wise, because it kind of does everything I could possibly want it do for the most part.

The only non-positive thought I have is that it's not super touch-screen friendly? I guess custom CSS might be able to do some work there maybe.

So, in short, I love it! I've been using it for years, even before I switched from Chrome back to FireFox in 2019.

The only thing is that it requires you to spend a little time with it's settings menu to put together something you like, and if you can't be bothered with a little configuration, it might be best to just stick to the vanilla New Tab page.

Chrome version is great, but the Firefox version download Favicons from an online source, so any local sites will not get an icon. In the Chrome version it pulls the favicons from Chrome's cache. Shame, it looked so good in Chrome, but a bit naff in Firefox.

Pretty cool, extremely customizable!
A filter/search field for the bookmarks whould be awesome.

Thank you!

Absolutely stunning design. I was looking for a nicer way to browse my bookmarks, and I found it!

I have been using this extension for a long time on Chrome and it works just as fine on Firefox! Although it is missing the "Open on other devices" option. But this is due to a lack of support for this in Firefox, so can't blame HNTP.
