- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18678649, 9 months ago***FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR A SIMILAR WORKING EXTENSION - SEE Anori - ITS AMAZING ***
Amazing concept, but sadly its just a rushed port from Chrome, nothing really works properly. Calculator, Pomodoro timer, Incognito Button, Site Blocker... deleting widgets... even dragging to select text in any field... all non-functional. No option to make custom widgets like e.g, background for the clock.
I really really wanted to use this, but its completely broken and abandoned, with the developer seemingly taking interest in their new AI slop paid extension instead. I would suggest making this extension open source so others can continue it. Regardless, some suggestions:
Features:
1. An option to create a links folder widget, with the source being a specified bookmarks folder. That could be a folder inside the bookmarks bar, or the entire Bookmarks Menu, or whatever. This would really set it apart because you could FINALLY have the same widget/shortcuts on mobile/desktop. This is the one thing all NTPs miss that they really need!
2. No import/export config to file? The one thing most NTPs seem to not implement, which is a dealbreaker for me :(
3. I also like having random nature wallpaper every 2 hours... but the clock time doesn't dynamically adjust colour based on background, so sometimes its visibility is poor... would be great to add this
4. A feature to only show nature pics relevant to the current season would be great (e.g, snowy mountains in winter, leaves in autumn, nice grass in summer) but I understand thats probably not a cheap or easy feature to do.
5. An option to open current wallpaper source (wallhaven.cc link) would be great!
Bugs:
1. When I do a new window with CTRL + N, it shows the default firefox page... I have to do CTRL + T to see the Casca page.
2. I also can't do CTRL + T and start typing quickly - after a second or two, it redirects the new tab to Casca, and i lose what i typed...
3. NTP just appears blank in incognito...
4. Above 3 points make extension feel really clunky/heavy. Also on NTP theres this big banner in the URL bar saying its Casca. Feels more like a custom website than actually part of the browser. - Rated 2 out of 5by Fotispel, 10 months agoCalculator, Pomodoro timer and site blocker do not work on firefox (I checked it on Brave and it worked flawless there). In general it is a very beautiful new tab page
