New version is finally here, but somewhat incomplete and not yet for Firefox! :((until it gets approved for Firefox, you can try these new features in Cloud dials page)

🏅 Firefox Recommended badge!

Group Speed Dial is getting (once approved) the Recommended badge - this is a BIG deal, there is only ~122 addons with the badge in the whole world!

This will make my addon in Firefox Store 100% secure and privacy friendly, because all releases will be manually reviewed by the Firefox reviewers team!

That being said, I've been contacted by a Firefox reviewer, and due to missing "data collection consent" message, current version of my speed dial is scheduled to be removed from the store on Wednesday (14th October 2026) 🙃. At least now we know, the security review process works :).

Don't panic though, new version 30.0 is being reviewed and should be approved any day now!

🌐 Language Switcher

This was a tough one, because browsers manages addons language automatically, and they don't support switching it (so I had to re-implement internationalization engine).

To switch the language, go to Options page / General / Language:

📦 Archiving a dial (PRO)

Did you ever wanted to "remove dial", but still have it somewhere - just in case?Introducing Archive dial feature:

Archiving a dial will create new group in the Archive, call it same as the current group, and move the dial there:

If you archive more dials in the same group, they will be moved into that group.Archived groups will automatically use List layout (to fit more dials).

🔍 Search upgrade for easier dials management

You can now activate Select dials feature (form main menu or context menu) while using the search:

Then select all dials you want to manipulate:

Then right click one of them to perform batch operations, like "Cut", "Move to group" or "Delete":

I'll record a video that will show this in action.

📈 Other improvements

This release also includes:

new icons for your groups/folders/tags (if you are missing some, leave a comment below):

moving dials to Top / Bottom (works only in dynamic layout):

import from Bookmarks - see main menu / Advanced / Import bookmarks:

global Font color settings for groups and dials:

Chrome finally supports "Add this Tab to dial" in the tabs context menu (right click tab):

"Share dials" feature now supports "Export to file" - an offline way to share/backup a part of your dials:

And many more small improvements and fixes.As usual, you will be able to see all changes in the release notes, once Firefox approves it.

⏭️ What's next

I plan at least two more releases by the end of this year:

30.1 version will fix a "small dials" issue on touch devices, later this week

30.2 will add features I couldn't finish in time for this release - "Links checker", the brand new "Icon layout", themes for groups list, and a new payment method (that won't require Patreon account)

I also plan to finally make those tips and tricks videos!And lastly, I wanted to redesign my 10 years old homepage!Oh, am I putting too much stuff on my plate again?!

💌 Thank you for supporting my work

Thank you all for helping me do what I love :), which is now not only programming, but also running (for some reason...).

I wish you all a good health and I'll see you soon in the new tutorial videos! :)
