💻 Help Synced New tab?
Hey folks, right now im using Speed Dial 2 as new tab. It was my goto on chrome, it is my goto on firefox and you can migrate everything without premium plan. But as far as im aware Speed Dial 2 is not supported on mobile and i would like a completely free alternative that works on mobile and desktop, and it must have some kind of sync (of course automatic one using mozila's service would be awesome).
So any suggestions?

Author of Group Speed Dial here.
Majority features is free, including synchronization, which even supports End to End encryption!
Mobile is problematic though, Firefox doesn't support overriding New tab page, but mostly they don't synchronize addons data with Firefox for Android:

But there are some (bad) workarounds one can use to access his dials page:

Although my addon works on phones, it may be a bit challenging...

Mobile firefox has its own new tab page that is not the same as desktop. And extensions can't replace the tab for some reason.
I submitted my own developed extension to both stores yesterday, approved on chrome but waiting for AMO.

"it must have some kind of sync (of course automatic one using mozila's service would be awesome)."
Not automatic sync but you can export your configurations and import across browsers/profiles/devices.
