Отличное расширение! Ставлю 5 однозначно. Удобный бэкап вместе с картинками (правда своими). За конфиденциальность отдельный респект и уважение. P.s. Перешел на ваше расширение из-за конфиденциальности которой в прошлом (Speed Dial) не было. При проверке находился adware)) который обнаружить может специалист. Всех благ вам, успехов и удачи. Есть пожелания: 1. Сделайте пожалуйста чтоб меню с настройками заезжало нажатием на стрелочку и выезжало также. 2. Сделайте пожалуйста базу готовых картинок, чтоб при добавлении сайта можно было выбрать и добавить.

В целом очень хорошо. Можно настраивать размеры иконок и их вид. Но, пока пару минусов: -нет строки поиска, -иконки нельзя перетягивать мышкой и закреплять в определенных местах, -нет настройки для отображения названий над сайтами вкладок (заголовки не отображаются). -после 6 групп остальные просто сворачиваются до квадрата без отображения названий групп, хоть места еще вагон. Хорошо бы выделить главную страницу со строкой поиска и добавить чекпоинт при открытии новой вкладки "Выводить первоначально закладки только из главной группы". А так же выделять фоном или рамкой текущую открытую группу. PS. Спасибо, что название вкладок добавили. Ребятам отдельное спасибо что проект развивают! Расширение рекомендую! Хорошо бы карту еще для донатов указать, желательно МИР, а то теперь юмани криво работает. Пришлось кинуть на VK.PAY

SwiftDial is fantastic with its customisation and implementation, I have been using Group Speed Dial for both Vivaldi and Firefox, however, since using SwiftDial I'll be switching over for both browsers. Backing up locally is super great which includes the dial's and their respective images, this saves a lot of time in restoring it. I'm not exactly sure of what each Backup Mode includes perhaps you could have one to include everything. Is it possible to have 2 lines for Pinned Site Groups since the Group Titles on the right turns into a group symbol when the browser is not wide enough, and one has to hover over them with the mouse to reveal the name. A custom symbol would help. Also I don't think it has a setting to go to a Default group when starting up? However, overall this extension is awesome, well done!
