my current review of "Favorites - New Tab Page" by Web Accessories - my current favorite Chrome Extension

"hands down the best thing for chrome ever. developer. please create a tip jar for yourself so you can be rewarded for your work and continue working on the greatest thing for chrome. it's so good that it feels native. feels like an official native product. Its your bookmarks, but instead of a tiny sliver of text links, you get a nice full screen grid layout, the way it should be.

wow. this should be the top new home page. thank you to the developers.

could we get an option for an animated folder opening? and maybe the folder would open as a large
square over the main bookmarks view so that, we could easily tap anywhere outside that to go back to the main view? what do you think? thank you.

additional thoughts / ideas

- maybe an "undo" button that appears after something is moved or changed to help users out a bit
- maybe when we tap a folder, it open in a quick smooth animated way, similar to how app folders on Nova Launcher / Android / iPhone / iPad open up. then we could tap outside the folder area to go back to the main view"

draft - favorites - new tab page -

dear google and / or the developer of "Favorites - New Tab Page"

please partner with each other to make the "Favorites - New Tab Page" extension more well-known. it's a service that, came out 4 or 5 years ago; i've been using chromeOS now for about 3 years, never saw this extension and now that i have it, it feels like such an almost native part of chrome browser, that its like, i feel like everyone should have it.

On ChromeOS, we don't get the "luxury" of a "desktop".

so, an extension like this is kinda a beautiful thing. I think everyone should know about this extension. But, the developer should be rewarded for creating this extension. Maybe more extensions that are similar to this one should be made and this type of extension could even be improved to make it even better.

i'm thinking maybe like, animations so when you tap a link folder, it kinda animates to open up like you might expect.

"Favorites - New Tab Page" i think is my favorite new "favorites/new tab page" setup. its like how it *should* be. The way bookmarks *should be* on chrome/chromeOS/chromebooks etc. it takes your existing bookmarks, and takes advantage of all the screen real-estate you've got and gives you a beautiful icon-grid layout which you can customize to you heart's content.

if you were kinda missing the ability to do a nova launcher type setup in chromeOS /chromebook, "Favorites - New Tab Page" is a solution I think you might enjoy

draft - when will chromeOS get more controls / capabilities from the shelf? its a digital space. its not bound by physical reality. please give us the ability to pin folders to the shelf. we can tap them and they'll open in a 3x3 or 4x4 grid, so that, we have access to our favorite things more easily. folders inside the launcher are too fleeting. they are lost whenever using "sort by color" or "sort by a-z" etc...at least if there was an option to pin app folders to the top so they wouldn't be strewn about when re-sorting, that might help a bit.

draft - chromeOS needs a static grid for icons/apps. the launcher is a grid but you can destroy the manual layout with one click. the shelf doesn't have a one click destroy manual layout option, but its one long line and not a grid. plus you can't pin an app folder there either.

if you're going to let us destroy our manual layout with one click, at least give us an option to "sort manually" in addition to "sort by color" and "sort by name".

draft - nova launcher - thank you for developing this wonderful android launcher. could we get a version designed specifically for chromeOS? to drag and drop web links onto the nova launcher? the built in chromeOS launcher/shelf leaves a bit to be desired, and the ability to use nova as a launchpad for web apps would be a welcome addition. thank you
