Minimalist with low footprint and highly customizable, showing everything I need on a regular basis. Had this installed for years and would keep using it but it has slowly but steady been loosing entries in the 'Apps' folder. All the Apps are still there and accessible through the native 'Show apps' button and un- then reinstalling didn't fix it. Last update was in 2019 so I guess I'll have to move on. |

Have been using this for so long I just take it as the default browser experience. Only when I see the horrible default new tab of Chrome do I realize how good this extension is. |
