So far so good: 1 - Good UI design and Visual Settings 2 - The Customizable "New Tab" animation on every new tab is unique 3 - Import / Export Backup 4 - Possibly every search engine To give 5 star: 1 - The reordering speed dials is tedious, reconsider implementing drag and drop 2 - Allow custom search engine like chrome settings allows 3 - Allow adding to speed dial from the extension icon popup 4 - Add infinitely nested folders (most desired feature) 5 - Open source code to gain trust

i would have rated it 5 stars. It's really unique and simple what i wanted but there are not much features for customization.
