Really Good
by Michael Hillary Michael Hillary, 2024-04-02
Ive also never written a review for any extension ever, but this is by far the greatest new tab page I've ever come across. Would give this 6 stars if I could.(Maybe if you could make it so that we could cycle through messages every time a new tab is opened, that would be a great feature to add!)
