by PyroTabby, 3 months agoTakes the standard bookmarking system of old and improves upon it's usability in every regard I could imagine.
every use case I could think of with this plugin over traditional bookmarking is just more fluid and quicker:
selecting bookmarks to move is based on checkboxes rather than mouseclicks plus control/shift key.
moving bookmarks to a folder is as simple as clicking a button hovering near desired folder rather than needing to drag and drop, risking a misclick mistake.
If I stopped to open up a bookmark I don't recognize to check it out none of the checkboxes already selected disappear,
this addon also integrates into the old bookmark system rather than replacing it so import/backup and sync works perfectly fine and directly modifying the bookmark folder itself doesn't result in any detrimental effects from what I've observed.
After this addon had already impressed me, I thought to myself that the text of the folders/bookmarks seemed small and experimentally tried a classic ctrl+mousewheel and found that the madman had considered what I thought to be an edgecase was considered and supported.
Best addon I've ever seen after uBlock, very well thought out and executed refinement of bookmarking. so good that this should, in my opinion, be incorporated into official firefox browser releases.

posted 3 months agoHigh praise indeed, thank you so much for sharing! I'm really happy to hear that a lot of the small touches have made things smoother and easier for you.
And you're right about modifying the bookmark folder itself—not only should there be no detrimental effects, it is fully-supported to move bookmarks around however you please using the tool of your choice. (Extensions that auto-move bookmarks do sometimes cause problems, but this is the exception, not the rule.)
