| 2024-10-27 |  | | en | Make it black screen on new tab please. its flash-banging my eyes. tried replacing page with site with black screen but it just adds extra processing and also displays a white screen until the site fully loads so can't be it. otherwise pretty good extension. |
| 2024-10-09 |  | | en | It seems to be very slow (tested on multiple fast devices on different fast networks), when trying to load in certain websites, and if the website does load it's sometimes missing images for some reason. Pretty generous giving it 4 stars. |
| 2024-08-02 |  | | en | Doesn't work with local files. I set it to open a local html file on my desktop and it just opens a blank new tab. |

| 2024-05-05 |  | | en | Works like a charm. I especially love the fact that it highlights the addressbar after opening a new tab, so I can immediately start entering a search or website address. |
| 2024-02-16 |  | | en | Why does it have to read all data from all pages? |

| 2023-06-12 |  | | I wanted to keep the chrome://newtab feature with my 10 prefered urls showing under the search field. and I wanted to focus the search field (and not the address bar). I guess it's not possible to have both with this extension .. | |
