Bookmarks - But Better

Bookmarks - But Better replaces your new tab page with a clean, organized bookmarks dashboard that puts your favorite sites front and center. Every time you open a new tab, instead of an empty page or a search bar, you see your bookmarks laid out in a beautiful masonry grid. No more digging through menus, no more forgetting what you saved. Your bookmarks are right there, exactly where you need them. 💡 Why you'll love it: Your browser already has your bookmarks. You already organized them into folders. But the default bookmark experience buries them behind menus and clicks. This extension takes what you already have and presents it beautifully. There's nothing to set up, no account to create, no data to import. Install it, open a new tab, and your bookmarks are already there. ✨ Features: - Masonry layout: your bookmark folders are displayed as cards in a responsive, Pinterest-style grid that adapts to your screen size - Two view modes per folder: switch between a detailed list view with titles and favicons, or a compact icon grid for folders you know by heart - Beautiful themes: choose from 10 handcrafted color themes including Default, Amber, Bubblegum, Caffeine, Claude, Claymorphism, Cyberpunk, Solar Dusk, T3 Chat, and Vintage Paper - Light and dark mode: follows your system preference automatically, or toggle manually with a single click. Press D on your keyboard to switch instantly - Edit everything inline: rename bookmarks, change URLs, create new bookmarks, and manage folders without ever leaving the page - Choose your root folder: pick any bookmark folder as your starting point. Only want to see your work bookmarks? Or just your personal ones? Set it in seconds - Import and export: bring bookmarks in or take them out using the standard HTML bookmark format that every browser understands - High-quality favicons: every bookmark gets a sharp, recognizable icon, even on high-resolution displays - Always in sync: every change you make is saved directly to your Chrome bookmarks. Edit a bookmark here and it updates everywhere 🔒 Built for privacy: This extension was built with a simple principle: your bookmarks are yours. There is no data collection. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. No account required. All your data stays in your browser using Chrome's built-in bookmarks and storage APIs. The only external request the extension makes is fetching website icons from Google's public favicon service, which is the same service Chrome itself uses. Your bookmarks deserve better than a dropdown menu. Give them a home. 🔑 Permission justifications: bookmarks: Core functionality. The extension reads and displays your Chrome bookmarks on the new tab page. It also allows you to create, edit, and delete bookmarks directly from the dashboard. storage: Used to save your preferences such as selected root folder, color theme, card layout mode, and onboarding completion status. All data is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage API. favicon: Used to retrieve website icons for each bookmark via Chrome's built-in favicon API, so every bookmark displays a recognizable icon next to its title. tabs: Used to open Chrome's built-in bookmark manager when the user clicks "Show in bookmark manager" on a folder. This action opens a new tab pointing to chrome://bookmarks. Host permissions: https://t1.gstatic.com/*: Used to fetch high-quality favicons from Google's Favicon V2 service. This is the primary source for bookmark icons displayed in the dashboard. https://www.google.com/*: Used as a fallback favicon source via Google's S2 favicon service, in case the primary source does not return an icon for a given website.
