Review summary

Users appreciate this add-on for its speed, simplicity, and the ability to focus the address bar immediately on a new tab. It preserves input while loading and supports useful features like page duplication via keyboard shortcuts. However, multiple users report issues with loading certain pages due to browser policies like X-Frame-Options, and some experience errors after Firefox updates. A few note that focus issues and bookmark management complexity detract from the experience.

Pros

Allows typing directly into the URL bar on the new tab without needing to select content first.
Fast and responsive, with quick loading of the new tab page.
Simple, clean, and safe open source code.
Enables starting to enter URLs or search queries before the homepage fully loads, preserving input.
Works well for duplicating pages using Ctrl + Drag.

Cons

Does not load local pages or pages blocked by X-Frame-Options policy, causing loading failures.
Stopped working for some users after Firefox updates, showing errors when opening home pages.
Lacks focus on the address bar in some cases, impacting usability.
Complicated bookmark organization experience (mentioned in one review).
