Extension summary

Analyze keywords

I like "Speed Dial" plugins for browsers, but there is always something I don't like about the ones I find. So, I decided to make my own.

The "Other Bookmarks" folder, along with all of its subfolders, are shown as buttons at the top of the browser.

Click a button to display a modal window with all of the bookmarks in that folder.
Click a link to visit that site.
Click anywhere outside the modal to close it.

This extension only requires three permissions (the bare minimum permissions to get the job done).

It needs Bookmarks permission, to do its job.
It needs the Active Tab permission, so it can function as a tab.
It needs the chrome://favicons/ permission, to display bookmark icons.

User reviews

Great little extension although really needs work on the structure of the tab page, would benefit with the option to colour code bookmark folders at the very least, as a wall of inline aligned blue buttons can make it hard to find the folder you need. Note: I have hundreds if not thousands of bookmarks.. makes for a great sea of blue buttons. :P

Bro, I appreciate the effort, but this thing is terrible as is. Can't even configure the bookmarks manager button. It would be cool if it listed every category, like bookmarks bar, then show sub-menu folder from the booksmark bar, then next column show next bookmarks folder, and so on. Also, please add an option to invert the color for people who want to save there night vision... or hacker vision they say! My favorite extension! But I really think if you worked on this some more, it can really be something beautiful. Good luck.
