User reviews

Visual Bookmarks is praised for its clean design, ease of use, and rich features like folder nesting and wallpaper customization, making it a favorite speed dial extension for Edge users. Common issues include difficulties with folder creation workflow, icon sizing and responsiveness, missing features like export/import and note-taking, and limited language options. Recent changes have also caused some functionality concerns. Overall, it is considered a highly useful add-on with room for improvement in usability and feature set.

Pros

Provides a visually appealing and functional way to manage bookmarks with customizable tiles.
Allows creation and organization of folders within the main bookmarks screen, including nested folders with custom wallpapers.
Clean, simple, and user-friendly interface appreciated by many users.
Supports easy saving of tabs to bookmarks and quick access to favorites.
Highly regarded as one of the best speed dial or visual bookmarks extensions available, often compared favorably against alternatives.

Cons

Some users find the folder creation and management unintuitive or cumbersome, suggesting a simpler, more direct way to create folders within the extension.
Limited options for customizing icon sizes; some report icons being too small and resizing issues when changing window size.
Lack of features like exporting/importing bookmarks and adding notes to bookmarks were requested by users.
Some issues with recent updates impacting behavior, such as inability to choose bookmark folders when saving from Edge directly.
Absence of localization or language settings, particularly noted that the interface is fully in English which may inconvenience non-English speakers.

Решил попробовать полностью перейти на Edge, но очень не хватало SpeedDial из Opera. Это расширение лучший аналог, и функционал даже больше! Огромное спасибо! UPD 17.07.25 Спасибо, что вернули поведение папок на панели!!!

Muy básica, nada diferente al manejo por defecto, excepto que es más bonita. Por ejemplo, no permite seleccionar varios favoritos para abrir.

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.

Visual bookmarks requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Visual bookmarks has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
