## Review summary

Users praise Speed Dial for its simple, clean interface and reliable, long-term usability. Common drawbacks center on a forced Yahoo search engine with no option to switch and a lack of customization options (fonts, tile label positions, home page). Reviewers also request features like JSON import/export and the ability to remove the search bar. Overall sentiment is positive but marred by control and customization limitations.

### Pros

- Reliable and long-standing usability (used for years).
- Highly regarded as a top bookmark extension with solid performance.
- Positive overall experience and ease of adoption.

### Cons

- Forced Yahoo search engine by default with no option to change; multiple reviews report this behavior.
- Lack of customization options and settings (no control over search engine, fonts, tile label positions, home page; missing features like import/export JSON).
