Rated 1 out of 5
by Tag, 3 years agoI've been paid subscriber for this add-on for years. I'm pretty sure it's the ONLY add-on I've ever paid for. The developer decided that they regret offering a lifetime subscription, and just ruined the add-on to try and get me to start a new yearly subscription. $#%& you.
One of the features of the new yearly 'pro' subscription is the ability to change the font - and the latest update changed the default font to some abhorrent almost unreadable font so you can't change it to something better without paying for the new pro subscription. For 5+ years I have used this with a perfectly readable font and now it's changed and I can't change it without paying. Again, %$&# you. This kind of %#$# is why people are so reluctant to pay for software in the first place.

Developer response
posted 3 years agoHello there,
I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the font - we did not change the font to be deliberately "unreadable", but since the major upgrade of the extension across all three browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge), we are by default using the system font of your machine. Typically, that would be the very same font that is being used in your operating system and the UI of your browser. This change was introduced so that Speed Dial 2 is consistent with the browser / OS typography.
Could you please reach out to our customer support with a screenshot of the unreadable font?

- Rated 4 out of 5by Sergey Twersky, 13 days agoThe tiles in the dark theme are not dark, nor are the settings or any of the menus, including the menu for selecting a group in compact mode. This is essentially the main drawback of this extension. It just needs to be refined so that the dark mode is truly dark throughout. :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Bright-FF, a month agoHiding previously free features behind a paywall, instead of developing new features to justify a payment, is a dark pattern.
And this is not even touching on the fact, how ridiculous it is to expect a freaking subscription for such an addon. - Rated 1 out of 5by Some User, 2 months agothat's a really bad thing. if you want to somehow make it not look terrible, you have to pay them 12 bucks a year. even firefox new tab has a better experience.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Vanco Ordanoski, a year agoBasically, useless. Shows the most visited sites, and asks for money.
