@opeepo10: While you're absolutely right that it's easy to make a version yourself, even without knowing any code (ChatGPT could probably write it in less than a second), there are also developers, like myself, who simply can't be bothered to do it ourselves. To be completely honest, why bother with doing that work yourself when there are numerous other speed dials available. Yes, you get some more control... on a highly surveilled internet where third parties already have everything they want to know about you. Whatever control you gain from running your own speed dial, is nullified the moment you leave that page by clicking on a speed dial, as you are only in control on your own site. Outside that site you've once again relinquished control to third parties. So all it really does to make your own speed dial, is bragging rights, an illusion of control and wasted time that could be spent on more fruitful endeavors. You're of course free to do with your time as you please, but there isn't any real benefit to building your own speed dial, beside personal satisfaction. I've since changed to YASD - Yet Another Speed Dial. It requires the extension that lets Opera run extensions from the Chrome Extension store, but other than that it looks and feels like FVD, if not better.
I'm calling bs on this. speed dials, bookmarks, etc.... all once you click any link you are most likely giving a third party some access to your info. However creating your own speed dial page keeps one more app creator out of your personal info cause it is your personal app and not some app you installed from a third party.
