elrick pup (ID: 0000001befd9063f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/17/2022 while it is what i was looking for. the "collapse" and "delete" button for folders are too easy to miss click and only have a conformation box of "OK". now I don't know what links I've accidentally deleted as there is no visible undo button ether

Aaron Laird (ID: 0000005307d02c2f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/04/2021 Doesn't work at all. I click the star icon and all I get is a wide box with a Facebook icon on the left side. Would be nice to have some brief instructions just to make sure I'm doing this correctly, even if the instructions say, "Just click on the Live Bookmarks icon." I hope it get's fixed because this looks like it would be a great add-on.

Mac McCarthy (ID: 000000960c00a93f) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/24/2020 Hmmm fine if you want to see jumping balls all day, let the browser open with only 61 web thumbs to draw / update, came back 3 hrs later, only one was filled in the rest were still jumping, I did use amphetamine set on 10 hrs to stop the mac from going to sleep and allow it to run but alas nothing. Still yet to find a good thumbnailer for chrome.
