Ms R (ID: 000000e3d3a9a283) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/07/2023 I like it. Simple and effective, easy to use, gets the job done with no fuss.

Joseph Khoury (ID: 00000077ce8c24da) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/14/2023 I love this extension. I do a ton of research and I have to bookmark in the range of 100+ pages per day. It helps to be able to drag and drop and see all the bookmarks in the finder-style interface. A couple of issues that I wish developers would address: 1. While this is on, there path to export bookmarks from bookmark manager is missing 2. Searching bookmarks does not show which folder the bookmark is in nor provide a way to get to the folder that the bookmark/url is in

Aradoexis (ID: 000000036de3b3ab) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/18/2022 Nice bookmark structure. Would be great if it would support Browser Short-Cuts like "CTRL + Left Click" or "CTRL + Shift + Left Click".

Andrea Del Chiaro (ID: 000000c693fb35b0) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/18/2021 I very appreciate the extension, to manage bookmarks by columns is very convenient. However I'd strongly like/suggest this two features for productivity: - shortcut to open bookmarks in new tab (center mouse button or ctrl+click as normally in chrome would be the best): currently the only way is dive into menu by right-click=>open in new tab - option to avoid replacing standard chrome bookmarks manager: this would allow to keep both managing possibilities, this extension, and standard chrome In any case, thanks for great job.

F A (ID: 000000f3395a7e72) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/17/2021 I really like this but the only thing that's stopping me from using this is that the second column On the left should really Only display the folders (Just like the default Bookmark browser). Otherwise it becomes very difficult If I'm trying to find a particular folder amongst a many bookmarks I've saved. So for example First column Would Display the bookmarks bar (and other folders etc) (Then if I select the bookmarks bar ) Next column would have an expanded view Of the bookmarks bar but only display the folders. The third column would then have the folders and Individual bookmarks ( just like how you have it in the second column presently) It is possible to do this please? Many thanks
