This is the best private/secure bookmarks manager on Chrome. Which is unfortunate because it's not very easy to use as it suffers from having a very small window size and very primitive organizational tools within. If you imported several dozen unsorted bookmarks in and had to categorize and open them you are going to have a very hard time. You can only drag and drop items one at a time and the moment your list exceeds your screen height it's not fantastic... There is also no search so this plugin is definitely not going to scale well if you decide to use it as your main bookmarks organizer. If I had to make suggestions; the plugin should allow the option to open the bookmarks list in a tab for better access during a session and include the necessary drag and drop organizational tools alongside a search function. Also allow launching of all tabs within a folder.

Works very well. One feature I'd like to suggest is the ability to delete the most recently used bookmark. Very often old...video links will stop working so being able to delete them quickly would be very helpful. Also, please make a version for Firebox.
