## Review summary

Reviews praise the add-on for being easy to set up, clean and fast, with solid bookmark integration and a free, configurable design. However, several Firefox-specific issues recur, notably background image resets or disappearances and occasional loss of saved dial images. Users also want better layout control (spacing between dials and ability to move them). Some note Chrome parity and cross-browser polish could be improved, and there are language/locale quirks for non-Latin scripts. Overall it’s a strong, bookmark-driven speed dial, but with reliability and UI flexibility improvements under way.

### Pros

- Easy to set up and user-friendly
- Clean, fast speed dial with a pleasant design
- Bookmarks integration via a dedicated folder with syncing and easy editing
- Free, lightweight, and highly configurable
- Reliable performance and generally very effective

### Cons

- Firefox-specific background images reset/vanish and sometimes saved dial images are lost
- Lack of spacing between dials and no option to move/arrange dials
- Not as polished as Chrome and could use cross-browser improvements
- Language/locale issues (auto-switch to Simplified Chinese with no setting)
- Background customization gaps (per-folder backgrounds and image scaling)
