The website will be added to the speed dial page with a screenshot included. To open the speed dial, click on the toolbar icon. Within the speed dial UI, there is a settings sidebar that lets you adjust some aesthetic options. This extension includes several background images (open sidebar to change). Please note that all the options are auto-saved to the memory.

Note 5: use the toolbar button's context menu item to add the current tab or, all tabs, to the speed dial automatically. If you choose all tabs, the extension will ask for broad host permission.
