About this extension

Yet Another Speed Dial replaces your new tab page with visual thumbnails of your bookmarks.

Features

Free and open source
No tracking: YASD respects your privacy
Automatically generates thumbnails for sites
Uses the browser's bookmarks library so speed dials can be synced and backed up easily
Supports folders and sorting with drag and drop
Fast and simple UI

Permissions explanations:

Read and modify bookmarks: Speed dials are saved as bookmarks in your browser. This makes it easy to add new dials (just save a bookmark to your speed dial folder), export them (you aren't locked into this extension), and sync them between devices
Access browser tabs and access data for all websites: When you add a new speed dial, an icon and thumbnail is captured from the site
Store unlimited amount of client-side data: Thumbnails are saved in local storage which is limited to 5MB by default

YASD has a very clear privacy policy: absolutely no information is collected or stored for any reason whatsoever.
