The way it's build, It really doesn't serve any clear purpose. I get it, sort of. It's for New-tab page for research. Dev needs explain use case, and make features more geared towards power-user researcher. Some suggestions
1. Add bookmark folder to screen. (drag and drop folder to new page).
2. Better UI. Specifically drag-and-drop.
3. Multi-search multiple sites (see https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/instant-multi-search/aamgapdgopfdmokckpkfciiddpahbbcg for inspiration)
4. (extra) bookmark results when you google something on google.com (e.g. you already have a site for "how can I convert json to csv" in your bookmarks, etc.)
This provides much more than the title suggests.
#1 primarily I wanted quick access to most visited sites, and this does that much better than built in top sites (although I would request a tweak so the same domain isn't listed more than once)
#2 quick access to recent history(would request that this can be put before the bookmarks)
#3 easy access to bookmarks (at least those in the first few folders) - much easier to use than the chrome's bookmark bar etc
#4 Search Selection History but I don't use that.
Highly configurable (but would request 'show in first' on history also). UPDATE: 28Apr2018: Thanks for the updated feature - much appreciated.
Excellent and highly recommended. Thank you.
