Summary

The goal of Research Assist is to improve your web browsing experience especially when doing research on a topic. The method implemented in order to achieve this is by attempting to reduce the amount of thinking you need to do while researching something. Another goal is to provide a convenience--we want to reduce the number of tabs and to free users from being forced to open links in new tabs during a research phase. This extension adds bookmarks under Research Assist, the icon allows you to access a list of the current marks added.
