Without the paid subscription, this is a standard basic new tab like many of the others.

Muy buena! Pero por favor, quite la barra de Search o póngala como una opción a elegir. Resta espacio. De hecho, una de las razones para pagar la herramienta es tener más pestañas para no tener que hacer scroll, pero con la barra de búsqueda caben menos marcadores para hacer clic directamente. Gracias!

결제 후 평생 무료 버전 사용 중입니다. 우선 몇가지 개선사항을 이야기하고 싶습니다. 여러개의 페이지를 만들고 각각 다른 배경을 설정합니다. 페이지를 선택할때마다 첫번째 페이지의 배경 이미지가 잠깐 보입니다. 그리고 페이지 이동할때 빠른 동작을 보여주진 않는것 같습니다. 마지막으로 위젯 추가 버튼이 기본적으로 보여주는데 이건 선택할 수 있게 했으면 좋겠습니다. 그 외에는 아주 만족하고 사용하고 있습니다. 특히나 주식 관련된 기능은 매우 좋습니다.
