So simple yet customizable, I like that we can use the font we have installed in our computer.

用过最好的new tab没有之一,简洁好用不花里胡哨,大大提升了效率

It's great! However, its usability is reduced by that the settings do not seem to be synced across devices. So every time I make a change to one of the settings, I then manually need to apply that to each of my many computers.
