우동윤 (ID: 00000064c0e3c832) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/05/2023 It would be nice to have a setting that doesn't change the panel size when the window size changes, and it would be nice to be able to adjust the panel spacing. 😆

Андрей К (ID: 00000035e940ba9f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2023 Почти идеально:) Молодцы разрабы. Очень удобное и полезное расширение. Лучшее из многих. Но есть нюанс. Я не знаю, насколько это возможно, но было бы классно, что ссылку на табло можно было добавить прямо со страницы сайта, а не вбивать вручную. Спасибо, нашёл. Теперь всё отлично.

Geoff “gcx302” Carbone (ID: 000000c14292df2d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/19/2023 I have been using this extension for about close to 1 year. Like many other needs or tools for my browser, I had to review and try at least 15 to 20 different extensions that did not work, did not do what they stated, or had requirements that I did not like (such as having to register or sign-up, etc.). Visual Bookmarks has no such requirements and it simply works for what I wanted - a functioning "speed dial" to quickly access and open whatever bookmarks I choose. So many of these types of extensions want to put ALL of your bookmarks in a list or other type method for fast access. With this extension, I was able to choose about 10 important bookmarks that I want fast access to -- that is it. The extension is updated regularly, is not intrusive, and it is visually appealing. An A+ for me. Good extensions are getting harder to come by these days. Thank you for a great extension Ivan.
