User reviews

Users appreciate Speed Dial | SwiftDial for its customizability, lightweight design, and privacy-conscious approach. It effectively enhances bookmark management and quick site access. Common issues include the default icon placement in the address bar, lack of import options for dials, inconvenient site group navigation, and limitations in screenshot timing affecting preview quality. Despite minor usability concerns, many users find it a valuable and well-maintained extension.
Pros
  • Highly customizable and flexible speed dial.
  • Lightweight and visually appealing design.
  • No apparent data collection, respecting privacy.
  • Provides useful functionality for bookmark management and quick access.
  • Actively developed and improving based on user feedback.
Cons
  • SwiftDial icon placement in the address bar is intrusive with limited options to move or hide it.
  • Lack of ability to import/port dials from other speed dial extensions.
  • Inconvenient site group management; switching groups requires extra clicks and isn't easily accessible as tabs or buttons.
  • Screen capture feature lacks delay option causing incomplete thumbnails, especially on dynamic sites.
  • Sometimes fails to fetch or display site icons uniformly, leading to inconsistent appearance.

Valid, but it puts a stupid button in the address bar and the creator tries to charge money for the documentation required to turn it off. I can't support that sort of behaviour.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Speed Dial | SwiftDial requires very minimum permissions.
