It's been a month since I started using this extension. For those thinking of installing this extension, I'd say just do it. You won't regret it. However, I would like to suggest/ request some improvements from the developer. * Add a built-in timer/reminder for notes. * A website icon should appear when you save a shortcut similar to the way it appears when you bookmark a page in the browser. (important) * When you are on the homepage or new tab, the address bar should be empty/clean instead of it filled up with messy extension URLs. It makes it difficult for user to put queries inside the address bar when the user wants to search something or go to a website. (important) * Add basic text formatting features such as highlight, underline, strikethrough, italic, bold, bullets. (important)

New tab doesn't focus on the address bar, its supper annoying. always this code : extension://ncklgdfggnihgccignllhlgffofjanlk/index.html?r=start and copying and restoring on another laptop does not have this problem. tried turning off " new tab focus on search box". worked for 1st new tab and resets and automatically turned on. not prevalent on other computer
