I Can't Edit or Customize My Bookmarks

Last updated: January 11, 2025

TL;DR You're viewing Speed Dial 2 on the web, which is read-only. To add and manage bookmarks, install the browser extension.

Why can't I edit my bookmarks?

When you visit Speed Dial 2 online (speeddial2.com), you're viewing a read-only representation of your bookmarks. This web view lets you see your saved bookmarks, but you cannot add, edit, or delete them.

Speed Dial 2 is designed to work as a browser extension. The extension replaces your new tab page and gives you full control over your bookmarks, including:

  • Adding new bookmarks
  • Editing and deleting bookmarks
  • Organizing bookmarks into groups
  • Customizing themes and layouts
  • Using keyboard shortcuts
  • Syncing across devices (with Pro)

How to get the full experience

To unlock all features, install Speed Dial 2 as a browser extension:

  1. Visit our installation guide
  2. Click the link for your browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Edge)
  3. Click "Add to [Browser]" on the extension store
  4. Open a new tab to see Speed Dial 2 in action

Already have the extension installed?

If you've already installed Speed Dial 2 but are still seeing the read-only web version, you might be visiting the website directly instead of opening a new tab.

To use Speed Dial 2:

  • Open a new tab in your browser (Ctrl+T or Cmd+T)
  • Speed Dial 2 should appear automatically as your new tab page

If the extension isn't appearing in new tabs, check that it's enabled in your browser's extension settings.

Pro Tip: With Speed Dial 2 Pro, your bookmarks sync across all your devices. The read-only web view can be useful for quickly checking your bookmarks from any computer.
