by Firefox user 15302884, 5 years agoAs a refugee from Safari (where version 13 deprecated all my extensions and yet somehow still became very slow and buggy), its built-in speed-dial was what I missed the most. It was such a simple idea, yet until this extension there quite simply wasn't any equivalent available. Thank you so much!
I like how you can customise thumbnails, however many of these websites produce their own thumbnails or webpage icons that the extension could draw on, such as the "mask-icon", "apple-touch-icon" or "icon" that Safari uses for its speed dial and touch bar links. I'd love to see an option for that, since the first are vector-based it would look wonderful on a Retina display. Then if a website changes its icon, it would update in my tab page. ^^
Still very happy with it, looking forward to more!

posted 5 years agoHi,
Thanks for the great review.
As for your request - I tried that before with another extension (newtab-bookmarks) and it's not as easy as it sounds. The number of possibilities to screw up the favicons are endless and on top of that - the extension would need to rely on a 3rd party service to get them, as the extension itself cannot make http requests if the target server does not allow CORS (and most don't allow). So this is why I gave up on the other one, and came up with this.
