Glad to hear it! I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, is a bookmark's ID guaranteed > to remain the same through its lifespan?

Sorry the docs are quite minimal at the moment. I'll add this point. > Currently we only have access to a very small amount of information > about each bookmark. Are there plans to add access other data such as > create date, modified date, the favicon, etc? Yes. We'll be adding the create date and the modified date. I looked around, and realized we don't have a bug for this, so I filed one: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13994 Favicon is a bit more complex because it's stored independently of the bookmark system and the underlying mechanism will be changing significantly soon. We hope to be able to support favicons generically in extensions, in a way not specific to bookmarks, but there are no specific plans here yet. > Are there any plans to allow developers to add custom fields to store > additional data inside a bookmark?

Not at the moment, but this is a reasonable request. Could you please file a feature request for this with a bit more details about the specific use cases you'd like to see supported?
