This is a really convenient extension for my Chromebnook. Can I get it to sync with the Chrome browser on my phone?

It just needs one thing more to be perfect. That is the ability to remove an item from the reading list without opening it. So often those read later items become obsolete by the time I get to them.

Thanks for the great extension! But can you add an option to remove a bookmark from the list after opening it, rather than by default?
