Option to show the most visited sites.

Could you add an option so that instead of showing favorites in the new tab, the list of most visited sites is displayed?
Perhaps as a section/option that is displayed in the folder group.

Chrome has this feature, however there are some things that I don't like:

1. In Chrome, only the 8 most visited sites are displayed, without the option of customization.

2. In addition to the most visited sites, Chrome shows its logo / Doodle, the search bar (which at this point is redundant since the top URL bar is also normally used as a search bar)

3. The design of Yet Another Speed Dial is, in my opinion, by far the best of all, being a design of large tiles in a minimalist space.

thanks, i like the idea and will explore it

played around with a prototype of this on my local but the major difference compared to bookmarks is that the user explicitly creates bookmarks, so yasd knows to go and fetch a thumbnail. to have top sites show up with thumbnails we have to capture a thumbnail for every site visited, which is a pretty significant change from the current behavior. same for including recent sites.

that said i can see the value in having an option to enable this, but ill have to consider how to ensure it is clear what the user is opting into if i added it. will think on it some more

Thank you very much for considering my proposal :D

I had not thought about it but it is true, the thumbnails for the most visited sites, unlike the bookmarks, could result in some conflict.

Maybe show only the name of the sites? Although I suppose it certainly breaks the style a bit.

If you think of something I'll be happy to read it :D
