Avis de Nonya Bidness
Noté 2 sur 5
par Nonya Bidness, il y a 4 ansGood Replacement for FVD, buuuut...the PRO version has a recurring subscription monetization model. It appears as if the PRO version depends on cloud/server functionality, which makes me concerned as to the long term stability of this extension.
I have no problem paying for well developed software, I am not going to pay a recurring fee for using a browser extension. The cost to value is not there for me. I suspect it's not there for many others too. I'd gladly pay a one time premium for this extension. But I want all of my data, and all of it's functionality on my disk, not in the cloud or on a server if at all possible.
I'll be keeping an eye on this, it works for me...for now. But, here's hoping the author comes up with a sane, and more sensible monetization, which offers some added value for features vs cost vs "is my stuff going to be stable, or will it go away at some point?"

mis en ligne : il y a 4 ansHello Nonya,
Regarding the "long term stability" - I'm using my own addon every day and I can't imagine my Firefox without it. So as long as I live, I will make sure it works, including the server. I'm only 33 years old now and I've been working on it for 5 years now and I see myself working on it 5 years from now and more :).
There was a one-time payment in the beginning (years ago), but it wasn't generating enough money for me to survive and sadly even now when check my Patreon page, I'm not making a lot (this is my full time job).
Regarding privacy concerns, I will be adding custom server synchronization (sometime in the future) and also End to end encryption (this should come in Q1 2022). But for now I can tell you that nobody except me has access to users data and I'm doing my best to protect it.
Anyway, if you have questions, feel free to contact me to my support email. And even though I can't offer you Pro version without the cloud account, I may give you some nice discount if you can't afford it right now (I will be adding better pricing once I finish my server upgrade).
Also I'm sorry for the delay, I'm a bit sick so I'm in bed most of the day :(
Best regards,
Juraj Mäsiar

- Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 15327373 de Firefox, il y a 4 heuresIt's a great addon and all, but $25-$30 EVERY year to use the extra features is not reasonable.

mis en ligne : il y a 3 heuresHello,
I know, nobody wants to pay subscription, including me.
The price you pay is in big part a donation to the developer (me).
And as you can see on my Patreon, I'm not exactly rich.
I could get a normal programming job and make about 3 times more, but then I would have no time to work on my many extensions.
And I would rather be poor and useful to ordinary people than be rich and useful to some big corporation. At least that's what I thought when I quit my job 10 years ago. I'm not sure it was a good move anymore...
I'm sorry for the bad news :(

Ще дуже давно помітив що після обновлення якщо не зробити бекап то без всякого попередження пропадають всі збережені як групи так і вкладки. Бачу що з кожним роком замість спрощення з'являються якісь непотрібні опції які псують весь функціонал. Дві помічені проблеми - мінус дві зірки.
Користуюся додатком... вже не пам'ятаю скільки, більше за 10 років то точно. Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 16 joursHello,
Could you write me email and describe what exactly happened?
(admin@fastaddons.com)
The update was released already 10 days ago, it's highly unlikely to be related, also there would be much more reports.
Check if there is "Old Firefox Data" folder on your desktop, it's possible that your Firefox was refreshed.
Also, I've wrote an article that could help you recover your dials:

- Noté 5 sur 5par Desert Catmom, il y a un moisWorks smoothly and has a lot of customization. So far this is the BEST speed-dial add-on I have found. Works well with Firefox. Many thanks to the developer for creating this. I subscribed to the PRO version to help support this work.
- Noté 4 sur 5par pulsar14, il y a 2 mois"Open Group on Mouse-over" almost useless because reacts too quickly. Time delay should be 3000 max and not 300. If I set groups on multi-rows, mouse movement hovering the groups opens what I don't want to open.
That's why this feature is almost useless. Thank youRéponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 2 moisHello,
Thank you for the feedback.
I'll increase it, but 3 seconds sounds a bit too much :).
I'll fix this in the upcoming version 29.0 which should be out in a near future.

- Noté 5 sur 5par ssdogdu, il y a 4 moisThe dial dimensions are too large. I gave 4 stars but I would give 5 stars if it was possible to resize dials and adjust how many dials should be in a row.
Edit: Yep, did it! Thanks. Will change to 5 stars of course.Réponse du développeur

- Noté 1 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 18725834 de Firefox, il y a 5 moisStop making things have pro subscriptions. I know it's optional and you gotta make money, but it's really stupid of you. Please either get a job or turn the pro subscription into a donation thing.

Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 7 moisHello,
Group Speed Dial version 26.0 is still compatible with Firefox ESR 115, you can install it from here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/groupspeeddial/versions/
(click the "[Download file](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/4348052/groupspeeddial-26.0.xpi)" below the change log)
Sadly, I can no longer bring back support in the current version of my addon due to missing JavaScript features in Firefox ESR 115. Even the newer ESR 128 is getting too old and in a few months will be replaced with Firefox ESR 140.
But the version 26.0 should work fine.

Juraj Mäsiar
