Speed Dial is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing efficiency by providing quick and stylish access to your favorite websites. You can easily add websites to your personalized speed dial by right-clicking any page or using the toolbar button. Each site is saved with a screenshot for quick recognition, and the interface supports drag-and-drop reordering of your entries.

Customization options include various background images accessible via the settings sidebar, and all preferences are saved automatically. Speed Dial does not modify your browser's new tab page but offers a stand-alone speed dial UI for easy navigation. Additional features include keyboard shortcuts for adding pages and the ability to add multiple tabs at once. Whether you want a faster way to visit commonly used sites or a visually appealing navigation hub, Speed Dial streamlines your browsing experience.

User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's simplicity, bookmark integration, resizing features, and support for Yandex browser. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues including its failure to replace the new tab page, inability to open by default on startup or new tabs, large memory consumption leading to leaks, and limited customization. The extension is seen more as a standalone web menu rather than a true speed dial, reducing its usefulness for many.

Pros

Simple and easy-to-use interface
Supports Yandex browser
Allows resizing options
Based on existing Chrome bookmarks
Displays most visited websites

Cons

Does not replace the new tab page as a true speed dial should
Cannot set as startup page or open in new tab by default
High memory (RAM) usage causing leaks
Large extension size (15 MB)
Limited customization such as number of displayed sites

I like the simplicity but might be too simple. 3 Thing sfor 5 Star: 1 - Should be able to add from the interface 2 - Setting for opening in new tab 3 - Open source the code to gain more trust
