This looks really nice! I like that there is a difference between favorite bookmarks and reference bookmarks. I have tons and tons of bookmarks of stuff I just want to keep/remember but do not visit every day.
The only thing I do not like so far is that I can't use mouse gestures (three finger slide) to navigate back/forth like I can in Chrome. I'm addicted to that feature.
> I like that there is a difference between favorite bookmarks and reference bookmarks.
The sentence "We have finally started to make sense of the differences between Bookmarks and Favorites." bothered me.
I find the difference between a typical browser's bookmarks menu and its bookmarks bar quite clear. The menu is reference for later, the bar is everyday items.
My bookmark bar is cruft free, no favicons, just lowercase abbreviations for bookmarklets and one or two uppercase letters for often used sites:
read paper pin j.mp P Y TM LF G R A O T G FB F
For example, Y is this site. If I have too many to fit horizontally, I look for whichever ones I haven't been clicking and thin them back out.
My point is modern browsers all have this difference: visible daily use bookmarks, and bookmarks menu bookmarks, and there is a difference between them.
That is a valid point. I do only have the most used bookmarks in my bookmarks bar. But as for all the others I often do not take the time to organize the bookmarks properly when adding them (mostly due to lack of time). The fact that there is a option of choosing between a bookmark that is clearly one of the favorites or just something I would like to read later or keep for reference is what makes it nice. I know I can easily do the same in any other browser simply by using folders but just having a favorite/reference checkbox option upon bookmark creation really simplifies things. It's not a amazing new feature but just something simple that's easily added while improving the feel of adding a bookmark greatly. Or it does so for me anyway, perhaps I'm just too easily swooned by things.
