Description

YASD replaces your new tab page with customizable thumbnails of your favorite sites. This extension makes it easier to access and organize all of your bookmarks. ⭐ Features: - Free and open source - Automatically generates high quality site thumbnails - Speed dials are based on bookmarks for easy backup and sync, even to other extensions - Supports folders, sorting, searching, and drag and drop - It's fast and minimalist YASD is 100% community supported! There are no ads, suggested sites, trackers, or subscriptions Available for brave, chrome, firefox, and edge Permissions explanations: - Read and modify bookmarks: Speed dials are saved as bookmarks in your browser. This makes it easy to add new dials (just save a bookmark to your speed dial folder), export them (you aren't locked into this extension), and sync them between devices. - Access browser tabs and access data for all websites: When you add a new speed dial, an icon and thumbnail is captured from the site.

All the collected dials disappeared suddenly, no way to restore them in any way, I boot my computer without any changes or updates and the start page is empty - a worst case scenario for me ..

"Can read and change all your data on websites that you visit" - why that permission is required for this extension is beyond me. Also, I haven't been able to figure out how to simply add all my current bookmarks to the new tab page which is what I thought this extension did. ...I'm really puzzled as to why Chrome doesn't come built-in with this feature.

It would be a great improvement if folders could actually be folders, and not just names lined up along the top. In my previous YASD type app (no longer supported), it was possible to create actual folders and subfolders within folders, and even sub-subfolders within subfolders. This was so useful! Having folders lined up along the top is not very user friendly.

i'm sorry, but my experience was just ruined. i booted up an old computer and hopped into chrome and it had an old layout with none of my custom thumbnails etc and yasd decided that was how it was supposed to be and chaged all my other chrome logins across all opcs and laptops to that 1yr old layout. its like basically starting over again, so i am going to look around and see if there is a differnet one that can prevent that. it had its quirks but did what i needed it to, until now

just dumped FVD and this will do it REALLY needs the ability to scale the size of the dials so that more of them can fit in a browser window

Nice and small app, maybe could do with a few extra features - like variable text size & colour. Creating new dials loads quickly which is a bonus - unlike similar apps. However, the JSON backup file doesn't work and unfortunately the developer doesn't respond to questions. At time of writing no updates for 9 months, hope this doesn't impact future bug-fixes. Apart from the bugs this is recommended.

Is it buggy or effected by another extension? This is what unexpectedly happens: I had created a folder, e.g. MAIN, before. Now I create a folder, e.g. DAILY and add some speed dials into it. Then I switch to MAIN and back to DAILY and no speed dials appear. I check MAIN and everything works fine. Then back to DAILY, still nothing appears. I refresh DAILY and speed dials start appearing. Switch to MAIN and it shows speed dials of DAILY. And so on. I even can't figure out the algorithm. This example probably doesn't cover all cases.

I didn't like the fact it changes your default bookmark folder, so every time you adding a site to speed dial tab via context menu its also adding bookmark to the same folder (last used by default on Chrome). You not always remember if you "speed dial" a certain site, so you might end up with a lot of trash in your default tab, which needs to be cleaned afterwards. Is there maybe a way to hide "speed dial" folder from the bookmark manager and chrome itself? Or either just not to touch the "default bookmark folder" variable? Otherwise you need another plugin (for managing bookmarks) on top of this one to make it comfortable to use.
