[Skipping the whole heated argument thing] Just to say that I really like this feature and I think that it addresses (in one way among many) a very real deficiency. People need access to their bookmarks and the bookmarks bar is one way but takes so much real-estate for something that could take

Darren, Sorry you feel this way - in all honesty this friction is something the UI team may struggle with from time to time, and I hope I can explain the background of the problem to your satisfaction - Chromium's UI was something we spent a very long time going over, and the bookmarks dropdown

They are right that it is not possible to please everyone, and someone needs to make the decisions as to what the browser will and won't offer. They are allowed to say no. Following my attempts on here, I have left them to bring out more releases and see how they address the shortcomings we

I already tried this one and got no where with them. And at the end of the day it is their project - just switch on your bookmark bar permanently. Chris On Dec 16, 1:41 am, Bizzeh killallthehum...@gmail.com wrote: this views do intersect with my own, however i do not feel that i was fairly

I wonder if it would make sense to reuse the existing star button for something like this. The behavior could be similar to the back button in that clicking is different from clicking-and-holding / clicking-and-dragging. Adam On Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 4:50 PM, Darren Horrocks
