Tsele Maraisane (ID: 00000077454206bb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/12/2022 This boomark reminder is absolutely amazing. Mty productivity has definitely increased and I don't forget nuggets I stumbled upon as I am "passing by" online.

Jason Darrell (ID: 0000008ce28fe6a2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/01/2018 I tend to bookmark sites when I'm "in the moment" of doing something else. Given that my overriding focus is on that "something else", I tend to forget most of the bookmarks I've saved. It's only when I go into Bookmarks manager and find the pages I'd set aside for another day do I remember this hidden treasure. But no longer! Bookmark reminder syncs with my calendar - any of my calendars - seamlessly. You could even create a calendar purely for catching up with your bookmarks and send your reminders to it from Chrome. Competitior research, tutorials, playlist, create your own TV schedule - endless possibilities. Top, top Extension, thank you!!
