## Review summary

Users praise Visual bookmarks for its clean, gallery-style thumbnail interface that makes large bookmark collections easy to browse. It is lightweight, cross‑browser, and runs locally, with strong appreciation for CSS-based customization, folder support, and responsive developer assistance. It scales well to thousands of bookmarks and offers a visually pleasing gallery. Recurring concerns include UI display issues—thumbnails not always fitting neatly and titles truncating at larger font sizes—and a desire to set Visual bookmarks as the browser home/start page. Overall, reviewers view it as a solid, feature-rich tool.
