The truth hurts, but FVD Speed Dial dramatically increases the startup time of Chrome. You’ll be required to add an additional extension to do this, but it’s nice that the creators didn’t leave this out of this already feature-packed extension.Īn extension with so many pluses MUST have a few downsides, right?

FVD Speed Dialįor everyone who switched to Chrome from OperaĬustom backgrounds, quick access to applications, editable websites, easy categorization… The list goes on and on – FVD Speed Dial is the perfect extension for those who like to focus on favorite websites and customization. Overall, this extension is what I would call a 50/50 – if you can overlook its faults then you could say it’s an average combination of simplicity and functionality. In fact, the only option found in its settings is changing between F o and C o for the Weather display.
The background on the top pane can’t be changed, the widgets can’t be rearranged, and the extension has no customization at all. Below that are the six most accessed websites, followed by Weather, News and Apps.Īs good as this extension is, it seems a bit unfinished. At the top we’ve got Google, along with voice search which surprisingly worked really well for me. It has a nice and clean interface, doesn’t interfere with the startup speed of Chrome, and everything looks just right.
