I have no idea why, but it seems too much time has passed since we talked about a speed dial Firefox plugin so, no matter how awesome may be the one I have been using in the last few months, I decided to find another one. The purpose wasn’t to find something better, only another one – for diversity’s sake, of course. These being said, let’s take a closer look at Fast Dial, this week’s first topic, shall we?
As I write this, I’m also messing with version 3.4 of Fast Dial, a Firefox addon that got its last update on the 11th of February, works with Firefox 3.0 – 4.0.* and has a rating of 3/5 stars after 1,884 user reviews and no less than 7,862,614 downloads. Not that bad, if you ask me, especially since the suggested contribution is $5.00 and I think that’s a bit too much, no matter if you’re not actually forced to pay in any way. After all, I think it would look better to have a smaller suggested contribution amount and get higher amounts of money as donations, than the other way around…
… so I’ll only add these: Fast Dial has an additional home right here, using it is really easy, beneath the surface you’ll also find unexpected things like custom site logos, mouse wheel scrolling, themes, export/import of any bookmark folder and more. Sure, none of this is out of this world, but I am sure they come a bit unexpected if we consider the looks of Fast Dial right after installation, right? Well, I guess I must conclude this by saying that I’ve seen both worse and better but, in the end, Fast Dial is a Firefox addon that you should take for a quick spin – if not to replace your current tab manager, just for the sake of diversity, as I was saying in the beginning…
