User reviews
Many users appreciate the clean and simple design of the New Tab add-on and find it functional for quick searches and shortcuts. However, multiple reviewers mention that the add-on's interface is often in Spanish or Italian rather than English, causing confusion and difficulty in use, with no option to change languages. Limitations on the number and arrangement of bookmarks are also noted. Despite these issues, users generally like the extension but request better language support and more customization options.

- The layout/arrangement of the shortcuts does not align properly.
- Users are confused by the displayed language being Spanish or Italian despite the add-on claiming English availability.
