Reviews & Comments of Houzz Save Button chrome extension

It does not save anything because when you click on the button it takes you to log in: "We just opened a new tab for you to log into Houzz. Once you’re signed in, please click on "Launch Houzz Save" below." then even after you're logged in it doesn't work. Launching houzz save does nothing but bring up the sign in screen again.

DOES NOT WORK. CONTINUALLY ASKS YOU TO LOG IN TO HOUZZ EVEN IF YOU ALREADY ARE.

Unfortunately, this is unproductive since it takes you to a login/signup screen each time you use it. Even then, the results are inconsistent and you don't get to add the product to an ideabook.

When clicking "save" button, it always shows a dialog for Login/Register, although I'm already logged in.

Good experience

Whoever is the PM needs to really think about how much value do you really add by hijacking new tab without getting users' consent first -- ask yourself do you open new tab to want to see it? Does it consist of at least 80% of ur own use cases? Houzz, please sort review by recency and take a look at how many negative reviews are there. Is this really how you want to develop your customer relationship or are you defeating your own purpose?

Was working great and I loved it. So useful for capturing images for inspiration. Now it doesn't work though. I click on the symbol when it appears in a photo and the screen just freezes. Really disappointing.

get it off now!

I really wanted to like this extension since I use Houzz a lot to store photos and ideas for projects. However this app just DOES NOT WORK. if I right click an image to save to houzz, the image disappears and I get the 3 green dots refreshing over and over again on a blank screen. if I try accessing the app via the icon on the image, the screen goes dark and hangs. pressing the actual icon on the toolbar again does nothing. What is the point of this app if it doesn't actually work??

Not as useful as I expect. need a lot of improve! button not always work, a lot of time it even freeze the page. make the research more difficult.

I love this extension...when it works. I used it a lot when I first added it and then, one day, it just quit working. I would click the save button and nothing would happen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it still wouldn't work. After much diddling around, repairing it, disabling and re-enabling, I even uninstalled Chrome at one point, I finally got it to work...once. Then, it quit again. :( I miss it. Very useful when it works.

Pretty helpful tool for most sites, except that I cannot save images from my Google Photos webpage to Houzz. Anyone know how to make it work? I guess the workaround is to download every image then re-upload it to Houzz manually but that's pretty terrible compared to the button working like it should.

Liked the idea as I am using a combo of Pinterest, Evernote and Excel for my planning, but way too many issues - default settings make Houzz your homepage? Not ok. Then when trying to save just got three green dots (using chrome/macbook pro, OS and browser up to date).

It has REALLY gotta stop hijacking my New Tab page... I really don't want to answer the same "want Houzz to be your New Tab page?" question over and over!

Overrides new tab settings and it not possible to disable this. Unusable!

Terrible - doesn't work! Aside from hijacking new tabs it didn't save anything I tagged. I spent over 2 hours saving images into my ideabooks but when i went to the Houzz website not a single image was saved! Absolutely infuriating! I'd give it zero stars if I could!

Extension seems fine, giving it 1 star because if hijacks your home page. There's just no excuse for doing that.

Changes your new tab content by default. When you disable it, it tells you that you might have to re-enable extensions that customize the new tab. If you knew about this limitation, don't implement the completely absurd feature that you knew no-one would want. Made me want to stop using the app and site altogether.

The problem with this extension is everything it does beyond what you downloaded it for (adding to your ideasbook from other sites). There is no reason it should be hijacking the new tab/start tab and if that is a feature it should be disabled and pointed out as an opt-in feature. The extension also has a bug right now that messes up dropdown menus where it pushes some content of the dropdown out of view.

I really distaste that installing this "Button" takes of the new tab screen. It's seriously off putting and raised my distrust of Houzz.

Changes the default on a new tab. How stupid.

Hate it, because some developer or marketer decided to make this app also control New Tab functionality, and the only way to disable that feature is to disable the entire app, so that's what I'm going to do, as soon as I finish writing this app. Too bad, as I'd had loved to have a Houzz button on Chrome. What a wasted opportunity for Houzz! Perhaps just too greedy!!!

This extension hijacks your home page and there is no way to turn it off (other than to disable the extension). For that reason, I give it two stars. Otherwise, the app does a great job linking photos into Houzz. It's a shame they felt like hijacking the browser start page.

Very annoying

Ruins the new tab page. Even if you tell the app not to take over the new tab page it still affects it and removes the popular sites. The only way to get chrome back to normal is to completely remove the app. Pretty disappointing.

The extension takes over your new tab without providing options. Uninstall!

when i opened new tab page, a popup gave me options to restore settings and I got my 'wanted' tab page, not Houzz. MINUTES LATER - actually, sorry, I've changed my mind ... if I don't allow HOUZZ bookmarklet to be my new page tab, then the bookmarklet icon disappears. duh!

remove the new tab hijack and your fans will come back. otherwise, no go.

taking over tabs page not ok

How invasive...if I wanted this as my tab page, I would have already added it. I am deleting this now.

It was great until the update took over my new tabs page. I found the button to disable that function, but after a few minutes it came right back. This is terrible.

extension was great until someone at Houzz was absent minded enough to think that hijacking browser tabs was a good idea. reported.

Disabled it because it not only hijacks new tab page it conflicts with other extensions if i disable new behaviour that redefines new tab - it prevents other "new tab" extensions from working and just shows google page

Just disabled this extension after having used it for multiple years. The tool now hijacks your browser and opens new tabs to the Houzz website... a little evil, IMO. Nope... "Surprise! "New Feature"." Too bad, I thought the previous functionality of the applet was quite convenient. I've reported this extension as abuse.

Same complaint: the new automatic update hijacks the new tab page - trying to resolve it a very annoying time waster. Thank you to the previous reviewers - I should have checked here first! The extension has the option to disable the New Tab functionality, but the disable function does not work properly. If disabled, 'new tab' reverts to Google search, and enabled new tab extensions (in my case Awesome New Tab) fail to work. I had to completely disable the Save to Houzz extension in order to regain use of Awesome New Tab. This type of error should have been identified and fixed in testing PRIOR to release.

Great tool to help you save ideas from any website. You can easily turn off any functionality you don't need (like the images in new tabs).

Terrible. Highjacks the new tab page. A simple utility that has been stuffed up by over reaching. Just let people save pictures!

i used to like the Houzz extension except the most recent automatic update to Version 2.0 introduced new MALWARE-like behaviours without any warning; including hijacking the default Chrome New Tab behavour. it took me weeks trying to figure out what happened to my browser settings - i thought i was infected with MALWARE ..... i now know the MALWARE was the new Houzz V2.0 i have reported this extension as ABUSE to Chrome Web Store Extensions people

One of the newer updates decided to change my home page. When I changed the setting to not direct my home page to houzz, it broke the New Tab function (with the recently visited links) of Chrome.

I love the houzz designs

Houzz is the best design site

love it a great ideas in here

show up. the rest are grey boxes. nothing more, also no button for "see more results". i wonder why nobody has

LAKSHMIKANTA

simply does nothing, no error message, nothing saved

Houzz has millions of photos of every imaginable design/idea/concept--you name it! It's a great way to find a professional in your area.

one of the best apps for diy

great app

it aiight

I just love how extensions randomly appear in my extensions tab, like this one. Ever since it just decided to put itself on my computer it disabled my AdBlock... I'm starting to get really annoyed with Chrome and its insecurities by just letting extensions install by themselves without asking...

Helped so much communitating to Builders designers!

good resource..

it has bug conflicting with google search in google chrome and firefox even though the app is only in chrome.. i cannot click on any search result. it also limit google search result to only three lines of images, and of those three lines, only 2-4 images show up. the rest are grey boxes. nothing more, also no button for "see more results". i wonder why nobody has had any similar conflict. or maybe because nobody uses google search.

great web site and great ideas

very hlepful in selection

Love it

Love it. Great passtime. Have to repeat actions a few times trying to navigate. Not bad though.
