as i said in the initial patch notes, opening up a new tab, then realising "other bookmarks" is there, and then going through that, is what is anoying about the whole process, chrome may as well save its bookmarks as a .txt file on the desktop and ask users to copy and paste the urls into the address bar.
the less a user has to do to get to what they are doing, the better, if you are running them round in circles, they are going to go else where.
