Extension summary

If you're like me, you use bookmarks as short term memory; Flagging something for further reading a little later. Unfortunately, the Other Bookmarks menu puts newly added bookmarks at the bottom of the list, meaning lots of scrolling or having to open the Bookmark Manager.

Recent Bookmarks solves this by displaying a simple and elegant list of the most recent bookmarks you've made. It groups the bookmarks based on the days they were added. Hovering over a bookmark will show the exact date and time it was added.

The extension can be configured to display between 5 and 1000 of your most recent bookmarks.

1.6.2: Popup closes when a link is opened. 1.6: Faster load times! 1.5: Added ability to delete bookmarks (with keyboard support). 1.4.5: Added improved favicon support. 1.4: Added fewer required permissions, up to 1000 bookmarks can now be displayed (see options), and "Recent Bookmarks Manager" shortcut (see options to toggle). 1.3: Added bookmarklet support. 1.2: Added keyboard navigation. 1.1: Added support for blank page titles.

Well done for this extension. Heads up, it was just disabled by Chrome because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions. Will keep using it for as long as Chrome lets me.
