Old New Tab Metro was amazing! Why is it worse now? I like the old New Tab Metro extension better.

Es stellt 1:1 die Lesezeichen als Metro-Kacheln dar. Das ist gut, zuverlässig, funktional. Leider gibt es keine Suchfunktion. Und nun zu den No-Go:s Das FAVICON wird nicht ausgewertet, alle Kacheln haben zunächst die gleiche Farbe, Kacheln können nur einzeln neu eingefärbt werden (keine "zuletzt benutzten Farben", kein "Copy Layout"). Außerdem reagieren die Kacheln nicht auf das Mausrad zum Scrollen, nur die Lesezeichen der Lesezeichenleiste (und nicht die weiteren Lesezeichen) werden als Gruppen dargestellt, und ein Verschieben der Tiles ist überhaupt nicht möglich. Also Optik OK, Funktion saumäßig, Mehrwert bescheiden.
