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.

ブックマークマネージャの呼び出し機能対応ありがとうございました。 かなーり便利になった。そして不要なブックマーク消してすっきりしました。 あと、また要望なのですが・・・ 検索したときに履歴に残るのはいいんですが、個別に消すことができればいいと思いました。 で、かんがえたのですが、検索した履歴の、リストボックス一個でいいと思います。 それを消す、順番変えるなどできればいいかな~とどうでしょうか

Well, I don't use it for the Search Selection, but because of this nice bookmark visualisation on the New Tab page! P.S. I have a feature idea and would even pay for it, please contact me :) P.S.2: Since the New Tab is opened very often and should be responsive. You could include""background": {"scripts":["main.js"]}" in the manifest.json.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Search Selection with Bookmarks requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
