User reviews

I absolutely love this extension and I rely on it heavily. The only issue is that somehow Google manages to disable it over and over again, requiring me to either reinstall it or find the setting for reenabling it (in the Chrome extensions listings). I am confused by this and am trying to find out HOW Google accomplishes this. I also find confusing that the backup of this extension was always a .zip file; but now, for reasons I do not know, it uses a .txt file instead. I can't seem to control in which format it saves the backup / restore file. Odd that it changes, but I'm learning to live with it. :P

Great little extension. Found it for Firefox first, was happy to see it when I switched to Chrome recently. Sadly the thumbnails don't work correctly. Picked thumbnails keep changing to wrong sites randomly, looking at the other reviews this seems to be an old unfixed bug.

I started using this extension on Firefox and then seen it on google I love this app! I can edit the home page to my taste!
