This chrome extension from Product Hunt has gotten progressively worse over the last few months. And the new design is a complete turn-off. This from someone who used to look forward to discovering new stuff on PH everyday - I mean, that was the entire purpose of me installing this extension, so that I could find new products without visiting the website every single time.

But now, this new design has slowed down my new tabs considerably.

To top it off, it's been showing me a blank white screen since this morning. Also, I don't want an Intercom live chat box in my new tabs either.

Please fix this.

I'm removing this *disappointing* extension from my browser, until I'm convinced that they've turned things around and made this extension better than what it was, not worse.

#1 Disable location and weather useless and slow down the loading of page/new tab

#2 Get back the grid / mosaic view or at least leave the choice with a different view: by the grid, by upvote, by comments, most view, most controversial, by only certain type of categories at the certain time of the day... that would a beginning of updates with new features

I used to check PH multiple times a day, everyday, for the past 3+ years. The new layout has been an immediate turnoff. Please at least give the option to use the old platform? Please? Thanks!

Really, really, dislike the new layout. Not sure it's at *hate* level, but it's very close. PLEASE PUT IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS. I much prefer the old grid layout – which was easy to see all at once – to the new list, which requires scrolling. THUMBS DOWN.

And I want to sign in to participate, but doing so adds a superfluous, sophomoric "task list" that you can't turn off. #SOAGGRAVATING.

This used to be my GO-TO new tab… but now I'm ridiculously close to deleting this extension.

UPDATE: Removed. #done

Basically spyware! The extension can access your chrome history and your location for no good reason whatsoever. Sick and tired of these companies abusing their user by changing their terms and services. Delete to never reinstall again!

The old version was clear, simple and focused on what we'd love to discover (daily new trends)
The new version is full of functions we DON'T want :
- a do list (excuse me I already have one)
- a meteo widget (seriously?)
- and worst...a random shocased project from PH == We don't care !
all these points are taking more than the upper 50% of the page!!! That is so annoying!!
If this garbage is not quickly removed, I will seriously consider to uninstall this extension

extension was a bit annoying in that it hijacked searches with "product" ... the worst is when the new version of the extension requires to know my location ... really? no way to disable their extension for location, except by uninstalling ... done!

I can't even deal with the new layout. Its way slower at loading, not even talking about image load, just the page itself is slower at loading. Images are about the same. I have yet to engage with anything on there since the update. Thus, its being uninstalled. Sorry just don't care for the new layout.

Please give us the option to select our own preferred layouts on the default screen in our browsers, the previous layout was much easier to see what things were before choosing to click on one. I preferred that experience over this new one.

Grid version was way better - lets me see more products on a single page
