User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's seamless synchronization with Chrome bookmarks and its straightforward, effective design. It excels in functionality compared to other similar tools and earns strong recommendations. However, multiple users report performance issues like lag and flickering upon opening new tabs. There is also demand for better customization options, such as adjustable folder icons, icon resizing, and improved background image handling. While it performs well overall, enhancing these usability and visual features could significantly improve user satisfaction.

Pros

Syncs bookmarks seamlessly with Chrome's native bookmark system, allowing easy cross-device access.
Clean and straightforward interface that meets user needs without unnecessary complexity.
Allows customization such as changing icons and adding bookmarks effectively.
Better performance compared to similar extensions; users find it reliable and useful.
Highly recommended by users who have tested multiple alternatives.

Cons

High computer resource usage causing lag or flickering when opening new tabs.
Lack of options for customizing folder icons and transparent backgrounds, which affects appearance especially in dark themes.
Inability to resize bookmark icons or easily manage bookmarks with a single click; users want improved usability for opening and deleting bookmarks.
Background images do not scale properly and sometimes repeat unattractively, limiting aesthetic customization.
Some complaints about inconsistent or original thumbnails/icons not syncing properly across devices, especially custom icons.

При открытии новой вкладки сильно нагружает комьютер и происходит моргание.

Great extension! I am wondering where my newly added bookmarks appear? Would be nice to have option to resize bookmark icons but not totally necessary. Also, to have option that allows single click to open bookmark in a new tab without having to right click for pop out menu first. And, not to have to confirm deletion of a bookmark. Does what it advertises to do very well. Thank you.
