Speed Dial [FVD] – ( Let’s you manage your bookmarks)
It’s always a better idea to keep frequently visited web addresses together in a place where you can access them directly whenever you open the browser or start a new tab in the browser. Google Chrome itself provides this feature to its users. Chrome browser also displays the frequently visited website address on its home page, but it is very limited. Therefore, you can use the most used speed dial manager extension called “Speed Dial [FVD]” from the web store. Speed Dial [FVD] lets you customize the home page of your browser. It replaces the default Tab Page with 3D predefined image shortcuts, sync and organizes your saved bookmarks, most visited pages, etc to help you access them easily.

It has several features, such as creating visual bookmarks, listing the most visited site for quick access, Grouping different sites of the same subject, syncing your bookmarks between different computers, searching and locating your required URL among many bookmarks easily.

Conclusion:
Browser plugins or extensions are really helpful for us for work in our browser as these extensions help you save time by getting work done faster, increase your productivity by eliminating many hassles, keeping your personal information confidential, protecting your computer and its important data, etc. These tools are also very useful, but it also matters how familiar you are with them and how you use them. These extensions are also user-friendly, but a new user may face some difficulties in using these extensions for the first time. But this is temporary and will become familiar after a few uses.
Another thing that users should keep in mind is that using too many extensions or plugins in their browser can slow down the browser and also consume more power. Therefore, you should keep only the necessary extensions and remove the unnecessary ones from your browser.
