User reviews
Users praise Nice Speed Dials for its simplicity, elegance, and practical features like more shortcuts and easy drag-and-drop reordering without ads or excess permissions. It automatically populates shortcut icons and supports cross-browser use. Common requests include allowing background and interface color customization, options to adjust dial size and layout, hiding the fixed 'Add new' dial button, and syncing or mirroring the bookmarks bar to avoid manual setup.
Pros
- Simple, minimalistic, and elegant interface that users find straightforward and practical.
- Allows more shortcuts than the default Chrome limit, with easy drag and drop arrangement.
- No intrusive ads, sponsored shortcuts, or excessive permissions, unlike other extensions.
- Automatic population of shortcut icons without requiring manual additions.
- Synchronizes well with bookmarks and supports import/export across browsers.
Cons
- Cannot customize the background image or interface color as desired by users.
- Lack of options to change the size of dials and the number of columns or rows for layout customization.
- The 'Add new' dial button constantly appears as a tile, which some users find visually unappealing and wish to hide or move.
- No option currently to mirror the bookmarks bar automatically; users must add sites manually.

Dev thank you. Can we get an option to mirror our bookmarks bar instead of requiring us to manually add each site? Thank you!

Aaron M, 2024-11-09Love it in terms of what I was looking for. I just wanted more shortcuts compared to the default 10 that Google allows. I tried a few others and I ran into 3 problems:
1. The extension was trying to get access to waaay to many things which was extremely suspicious
2. The extension couldn't even put up the symbols of the shortcuts and instead had really ugly big rectangles for each shortcut instead
3. It had ads and sponsored shortcuts
This extension has none of those issues. It just has 2 small ones of it's own:
1. Can't customize background, I just want to be able to put an image
2. This is just my OCD, the add new extension button is constantly there as it's own tile which makes my setup not look neat
I have exactly 12 shortcuts which is a perfect neat 3 rows and this makes it look like 13 :(
Ultimately, my second issue is obviously very minor and subjective, but the first one I feel should not be too hard to fix
