Speed Dial is a Chrome extension designed to streamline your browsing by giving you instant access to your favorite websites via a stylish speed dial interface. Simply right-click on any page or use the toolbar to add websites to your speed dial, complete with screenshots for a visual browsing experience.

This extension features a customizable UI with various background images and a drag-and-drop system for easy reordering of your favorite sites. It does not alter your browser's new tab page, keeping your setup clean while providing a dedicated speed dial page accessible via a toolbar icon or keyboard shortcut (Alt + Shift + A). Additional features include adding all open tabs at once and automatic saving of your settings and order.
