I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

This extension allows me to rediscover previously forgotten bookmarks and is a lot of fun. :)

It doesn't appear to function correctly as an Opera extension. I suspect it has something to do w/ new-tab replacement, as I don't think Opera (or Vivalidi) allow extensions to do that. E.g. i continue to use the Start.me extension as a "new tab" extension, even though it doesn't work on Opera/ Vivaldi because I can simply access it as a bookmark, or set it as my home page. This extension does not seem to provide such an option, though I suspect it would probably function if i knew how to tell it to execute.
