First of all, I love the idea it has great potential. You sure do have some harsh critics. My only problem with it is that it doesn’t display pictures on the Chrome Dial new tab page. If this was implemented, I would use it no doubt. Great work so far and I’ll be anticipating your next release!

For those of you waiting on development, please be patient a little longer. The next version is in development. My hope is to have it out before Google releases its own extension gallery. Updates you can expect in the next release:

Link customization (stored in local storage instead of the bookmark bar)
Keyboard shortcut customization
Homepage customization (including: grid size, icon size, colors, pictures, and more)
The ability to automatically switch to new tabs created
Cleaner interface

In the long term, once Google updates the API, I’ll see about a full replacement of the new tab page to include things like “most frequent pages” and the like.

I’m sorry that I will not be able to deliver keyboard shortcuts that work on chrome’s built-in pages like the default new tab page as of yet. Chrome’s API simply doesn’t allow it as I see it yet.

Thanks for all the downloads and votes everyone.

sumthing i waz looking for.. but there is a problem .. there should be option to configure the sites which will appear on the new tab page..
Use of bookmark bar is just not good..for example i use folders on my bookbark bars to act as live feeds(using rsslinks extension) n rest of the space for bookmarklets..now how do i use your extension
perhaps you make a customisation page and use local storage to store the settings
hope u implement my suggestion.. it’s a gr8 extension..should be developed further

Hello from Russia!
Can I quote a post “No teme” in your blog with the link to you?

After installing, middle-clicking any link switches directly to the new tab. Please fix this. (After disabling Chrome Dial, the original Chrome functionality is back).

Great add-on! I was looking for this ever since I hav estarted using Chrome.

I don’t like your Chrome Dial Page and don’t use it.

Also, please change the Alt + Num to open bookmarks in a new tab by default. Alt + Shift + Num is too much. Or provide a settings page to allow us to customize keyboard shortcuts.

Why don’t your keyboard shortcuts work on Chrome’s New Tab Page? Very annoying. I wish you could find a way to make it work.

Looks promising but:
1. There is only text for the bookmarks in the bookmark bar and no for the most visited sites as in the Chrome build in New Tab Page.
2. No option anywhere or I just couldn’t find it. Ones I disable Chrome Dial new tab page there ware now way to bring it back.
3. Bookmark folders are not working. When I click on a bookmark folder to expand it it try to open it as a page.
