## Review summary

Users appreciate Quick Dial for its customization, ease of use, and speed as a bookmarks and speed dial extension. However, multiple reviews highlight the lack of a dedicated backup/export feature for settings as a significant drawback. Some users face conflicts with other extensions like uBlock Origin, leading to unexpected behavior when opening links. The right-click context menu integration is missing in recent versions, and resetting after malfunctions is cumbersome without a backup system. Despite these issues, it remains a preferred choice for many due to its simplicity and functionality.

- Sometimes conflicts with other extensions like uBlock Origin causing new links not to open properly in new tabs.
- Occasional malfunctions requiring resets, causing inconvenience without backup options.
