This is pretty useful and well-designed, but to be perfect for my needs it would need to - add a key combination for clicking that opens the folder in a new tab group. That's not even an option in the context menu, so I honestly won't be using this extension very much tbh. - label each folder with a keyboard shortcut so I can extremely quickly select a folder. Key combination to open in tab group. This is currently just marginally faster than having the Brave setting on where the bookmark bar is shown just for the new tab.

One of my favorite extensions. I primarily use it as a launching page for my bookmarks, but unlike most other extensions who show me what they want me to see, Favorites allows me to display exactly what I want in the size and layout that I want. Please keep this extension alive!
