## Description

SwiftDial replaces the browser's home and new tab with a customizable speed dial. You can add favorites, adjust tile size, colors, borders, and backgrounds, and organize sites into groups with drag-and-drop.

It emphasizes privacy by storing settings locally on your device, supports themes (Light/Dark/High Contrast), private windows, and easy import/export of sites and groups. The extension includes guides, video tutorials, and extra features like multi-image backgrounds.
