Phones usually don't support extensions. A web version is a godsend, especially since it has a dedicated mobile webpage.
Cons
Con Uses affiliate links, which can be seen as an invasion of privacy
Affiliate links are usually not only a way to earn money with advertisement. They also include generating user profiles, which could be seen as a big privacy issue.
Con Only list view available
Con Essential features only
This extension features a few but useful features only. But it is a great new tab page nonetheless.
P.S. If you wanna add new features, you can just fork the source code if you are that kinda guy (its FOSS).

Widgets can't be customized a lot.
