Great extension, responsive developer

I miss the old "Top Sites" feature in Safari that allowed me to customize a bunch of shortcuts on a new/blank tab. Home Tab allows me to do that, plus it adds the current time in big numbers so I always know what time it is.

I wrote to the developer with a couple of feature requests. he responded within hours, and a week or so later released a new version with the features I requested. I also encountered a bug, and he was responsive and helpful in troubleshooting it. Highly recommended!
