## Description

## Bookmark Toolbar Menu Button Extension

The Bookmark Toolbar Menu Button is a handy Chrome extension that consolidates your bookmarks toolbar into a single drop-down menu button. This design allows you to compress all the bookmarks into one button, which you can place on any toolbar for quick and easy access.

While transitioning to a WebExtension, certain limitations were introduced—such as some JavaScript bookmarklets not functioning reliably. Despite these restrictions, the extension strives to offer a seamless experience for managing bookmarks.

Built as part of the [Toolbar Buttons](https://codefisher.org/toolbar_button/) project using the [MozButton SDK](https://github.com/codefisher/mozbutton_sdk), this tool integrates well with your browsing experience. It encourages user feedback and feature requests via forums and GitHub, providing an evolving and user-focused bookmark management solution.

## Review summary

Users appreciate the add-on's simplicity and direct access to bookmarks from the toolbar without extra menus or ads. However, it lacks essential features such as drag-and-drop sorting, right-click context menu options, collapsible folders, and favicon display, making it less useful for users with many bookmarks. Some report bookmarks occasionally do not appear immediately. Overall, it suits those seeking a minimal bookmark shortcut but is inadequate for advanced bookmark management.

### Pros

- Simple, clean, and straightforward interface without unnecessary features or pop-ups
- Provides quick access to bookmarks directly from the toolbar button without additional submenus
- Free to use and appreciated by users who want a minimal bookmark shortcut

### Cons

- Lacks support for advanced bookmark management like drag-and-drop sorting
- Does not support right-click options such as 'open in new tab' or 'open all in new tabs'
- Displays all folders expanded by default without collapsible folders causing long scrolling for users with many bookmarks
- Does not display bookmark favicons or thumbnails beside entries
- Sometimes bookmarks do not appear immediately on clicking the icon
