Chromeapp Updates (ID: 0000001aa718a601) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/11/2014 Simple and quick. Lets face it if you bookmark 100+ sites in a given week of research especially during Finals week, it won't be long before those bloatware bookmarks apps just stop working or making a groaning sound reminiscent of IE. I still use it, since I hacked mine to persist to gist, localhost, and archive in S3 theres no reason to use anything fancier. just a click no lag and im searching my 'marks, can't beat that.
