- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefoss, 5 years agoWorks great.
Very useful.
Open source.
No dangerous permissions. - Rated 5 out of 5by cengels, 5 years agoA great lightweight new-tab extension, plus the extension's developer is very open to user feedback on its github page. Whether it's a feature request or a discovered bug, the developer always responds quickly and conscientiously. For my purposes, this is the best new-tab page I've ever used.
- Rated 5 out of 5by INIROBO, 5 years agoThis is the home page I have been looking for a year and it's better than anything I would have expected from a simple homepage. Thank you.
Edit: Do you have to put images to each of the icons using right click -> Edit, or do they appear automatically?Developer response
posted 5 years agoThank you for a nice review!
You can drag an image from e.g. desktop onto a bookmark.
There is no fancy auto-generation of thumbnails or screenshotting or similar (only opera-like text based thumbnails) as there is no easy, independant of 3rd party services and secure way to achieve that in a firefox extension. - Rated 4 out of 5by KingKozaK, 5 years agoReally great, the one I had on chrome was a little better because it would cycle through scenic photographs instead of a plain color, but all the functionality is here!

posted 5 years ago1. This is not a feature-request forum. There's a dedicated support page for things like that.
That said, you can easily do what you want in Settings/Custom CSS, enter this line:
body {background: #222 url("https://picsum.photos/1800/1200/?random") 0 0/cover no-repeat;}
2. Please understand, that I'm doing that for free, in my spare time, and you're not paying a cent for it. So I'd appreciate if you didn't put me down because in the free software that I gave you for free, I didn't include all the functionality that, I didn't know, that you wanted.
If you're looking for a feature that is not there, please add a feature request in project's github and I'll do my best to add it for you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14643647, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by sboltzmann99, 5 years agoBeautiful and elegant. This should be the default behavior of Firefox if they really want to create a good user experience.
- Rated 5 out of 5by VM, 5 years agoIt is almost perfect!
I wish there was a shortcut grid as on the Windows desktop for shortcuts. everything else is just perfect!
P / s I saw some kind of CSS editor. I don’t quite understand how I can use it, how to change the shadow of the text, can someone tell me?Developer response

Styling tutorial is here: https://github.com/tborychowski/perfect-home/blob/master/customization-tutorial.md
If you have feature requests please create an issue in this repo. - Rated 5 out of 5by bubble, 5 years agoSimple and functional Speed Dial with good customization. Looking for simplicity in design and ease of use? This is it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ArneWeise, 5 years agoWhat would I do without all these nifty addons people create. Thank you very much for your time and effort :)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Rui, 5 years agoI've recently migrated from Safari to Firefox and was almost giving up because I couldn't see all my bookmarks on a new tab - which sounds silly but it's very, very convenient and once you are accustomed to it, it's hard to give it up. I've been searching for an add-on for a while now. Finally, found it! Not only it was what I was looking for, but the permissions only asks to read and modify bookmarks and not read everything we type in a page or unnecessary things. Thank you very much!
p.s Is it possible to see the favicons of each website instead of the first letter?Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks for a great review!
Re favicons: no, not easily (https://github.com/tborychowski/perfect-home/issues/37#issuecomment-546635708).
I could only show 16x16px favicons, which would look ugly when resized to e.g. 128px.
I'm planning to show more than 1 letter though. Probably something like opera does in their speeddial. Stay tuned! - Rated 5 out of 5by Finz, 5 years agoAmazing addon, almost exactly what I was looking for. One more functionality I wish it has was displaying domain intead of first letter. For example for twitter bookmark, would be nice if by default it was showing as twitter.com instead of 'T' alone.
Great work, keep it up!Developer response
posted 5 years agoThe problem with this is that there is no CSS solution to achieve this, so that it would nicely fit "a.com" and "abcdefghijklmnop-qrstuwxyz.com". But please add an ticket and I will think of something :-) - Rated 5 out of 5by IvanHoe, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Vincent, 5 years agoExactly what I was looking for! Amazing customizability!
Small feature request, if possible: allow users to also customize the new tab title + icon to be something else besides "PerfectHome" and its icon.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThanks for the review! Do you have github account? If so, could you create an issue in PerfectHome repo? I'd like to discuss your ideas with you. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15470154, 5 years ago
