New tab page comparison
Which speed dial is right for you?
Browser defaults are restrictive and cluttered with sponsored content. Other extensions lock features behind paid accounts or have dubious privacy policies. YASD is fast, private, and free for everyone. Here is how it compares.

Why switch to Yet Another Speed Dial?
YASD brings your new tab page and favorite sites together with rich thumbnails (not just icons) for any site you bookmark. Sorting, folders and search make even a large collection easy to use, and native browser sync keeps it available across your devices.
Speed Dial 2
Speed Dial 2 has a clean design and lots of flexibility. But many features are locked behind the pro plan. YASD keeps its feature set free and syncs through the browser natively.
FVD Speed Dial
FVD offers groups, 3D layouts and cloud sync. But it was removed from Firefox for privacy violations and it bundles sponsored content. YASD is source available and safe.
Group Speed Dial
Group Speed Dial serves power users with widgets, sharing, sync and more. But that also makes it clunky and hard to use. YASD is lightning fast because it does one thing and does it well.
Switching is easy: YASD supports importing from all major speed dial extensions.
A closer look
Privacy
Any browser extension you install deserves scrutiny. YASD does not collect, store or sell personal information. There are no ads, trackers or sponsored links. Your dials can be exported freely. Every permission is explained on the store listing, and it has a ZDR design so you can use it in the most secure workplaces.
Its source code is available on GitHub, providing far more transparency than closed-source alternatives.
