Nice idea :-) However, on my machine and with my browser, running certain searches spikes memory usage and processor, page becomes unresponsive. Closing the page and reopening (by clicking the extension icon) does not reset it. Suggestion: - sort by clicking on the coloumn headers (asc, desc, no-sort) - search / filter only in selected coloumn - tags - as others said - right-click menu - faster operation ;-)

Would be nice if it includes tags, which is another way of organizing bookmarks.
