Reviews & Comments of Neater Bookmarks chrome extension

The search function (often) doesn't work. I am gettting the "Oops, an error occurred. This has been reported to the developer" error message. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Works pretty well, although sometimes can take a while to load. Also you can change the Icon for it but there isn't an apply option and it took like 10 minutes to somehow finagle it to change. Lastly the search feature is a bit lacking, literally. Many named bookmarks did not show up in the search, only a few did. If they could address these complaints, this extension would be top-notch.

A simple extension to add a dropdown list from the icon instead of opening a new tab of my bookmarks and without needing to dock the bookmark bar which ends up taking up more screen space. Its own search function is iffy and doesn't always work. Most times it gets stuck after a search and we can't undo it until we restart Chrome. But now that is a moot point as Chrome has now added another (extensions on/off toggle) permanent tool (show side panel) to instantly add pages to a read later list or to access bookmarks. Selecting the Bookmark tab will always have it open on the bookmarks instead of the reading later page. So now we're being forced to take on yet another permanently docked launcher, it makes keeping Neator Bookmarks pointless. Odd, is it just me or do I notice both Windows and Chrome moving in the direction of Apple by forcing its permanent changes to its sheeple?

This is an outstanding extension. It does throw errors, in few use cases and you need to figure out the workaround, but despite that this extension is amazing. That it keeps the list of Bookmarks open even after a transaction is a reason in itself for a 5 star rating. I browsed and browsed, even ended up downloading an exploit extension, but could not find find another Bookmark manager, like this. Very helpful extension.

Great simple extension, but would be even better if it showed bookmarks not already in a folder into an "ungrouped" folder on the extension

Give it a minute to propogate, then it is off to the races. Love it!

- almost no exclusive functionality - can't add bookmarks - search ignores folders - no updated since 2014

Best bookmark extension ever! Should come as default. Thanks

The best bookmark menu I ever saw. Custom styles is the best feature. The small (tiny) shortage - 530px looks to me too few for height on big screen - It would be fine to have resizing option for height too, I would preffer 1000px or even more. Assume, this limitation comes from Chrome. Good job, Evan Shultz!

Love this extension until their latest update, the reason I started to use this extension was to avoid the default chrome Pop up "Are you sure you want to open X tabs?" when I middle click a folder. I work in IT and have a lot of sites to check, YES I want to open all pages. Now that this popup has been added to Neater Bookmarks I might as well just use default chrome bookmarks

What i like - fast and nested - it wont close when i click on a particular URL, so i can choose multiple url to open - clean What need to be improve - able to open all the URL even under the subfolder or sub-subfolder. This will be a great help for me to open everything under a categories foldre where i got a lot of subfolder doing subcategoring of the url. if the author willing to do this, i will sure to donate to this app.

Great extension! Only wish is that I could control the width of the drop down list.

Simple & exactly what I was looking for

Search doesn't work. I don't understand what it actually does besides basic Chrome bookmark functionality. Disappointing.

Frequently get an error message: Oops, an error has occurred - 50 -50 chance you can search your bookmarks - I'm getting rid of this useless extension

I miss the feature that the Bookmarks-List gets filtered while characters are typed into the seach box, so that only matching items gets displayed. Additionally, Bookmarks with an empty title (so that just the icon is displayed in the Bookmarks bar) are handled bad: they should be found by names in the URL and they should be remioved from the list if there is no match in the search textbox.

Zoom setting only works at 10% granularities. Setting to 125% gives the same zoom of fonts in the popup menu as do 120% to 129%. For me, 120% is a bit small and 130% is a bit large, so I wanted to use 125% but this extension uses increments of 10%. Middle-click on a bookmark is supposed to load it in a new tab. No, what actually happens is this extensions opens *TWO* new tabs for the middle-clicked bookmark. If the middle-click option is set to open the bookmark in a new tab, nope, the bookmark opens in a foreground tab (and loads in 2 new tabs). The author must have some duplicate code on the middle-click event that results in loading 2 new tabs instead of 1, and missing code to allow loading the new tabs in the background (I prefer foreground loading, but this option should obey its description). Since middle-clicking is not working (open 2 tabs instead of 1, not loading in background if configured that way), I had to enable the left-click option to load the bookmark in a new tab (instead of into the current tab) and forego using middle-clicking of bookmarks presented in this extensions dialog. The option to keep open the popup (this extension's dialog showing the list of bookmarks) does not work. When I click on a bookmark in its list, the popup disappears. That means I cannot open several bookmarks from its popup list. I have to select a bookmark, a new tab loads and the popup list disappears, and I have to click this extension's toolbar button again to get at another bookmark. Yes, I can middle-click on a folder to load all bookmarks under that folder, but I may only want to open some of them. This extension is broken. Oops, now I see why. It's last update was way back in 2014. Weren't dinosaurs still roaming the planet back then? That is, 5 years is way too long a version cycle for use within a parent program (web browser) that get several versions per year. Obviously this extension has been abandoned. The "home" site it a Github project page, and there haven't been updates to it in 7 years!

Exactly perfect. Been using Chrome for years and the browser's devs somehow never thought that the bookmarks interface needed improving.

Another old-but-still-good extension, this just makes the whole bookmarking process (and organziing, and finding, etc) smoother, easier, and more customizable. I hope it keeps working for quite a while!

Search did not work and crashed right away.

Must have extension for Chrome, shame the bookmark search function is broken...

This is kind of a halfway solution to the limited bookmark functionality of Chrome (as opposed to Firefox) and while it does work with maintaining the position your position in the bookmark hierarchy, it's useless for my purposes and you cannot "add new bookmarks" to the list, which is the functionality I really need. For example, I have a set of 75 bookmarks in a folder and I want to drag-n-drop a new site between 71 and 72, then drag another right after it before 72, then drag another one right before 72, etc., etc. - have fun slow-scrolling through Chrome to do that in 10 minutes, and this extension does nothing to solve that.

It was fantastic at first, just what I needed, but after a certain chrome version it started to open two instances of the same tab you middle clicked. Please fix that.

Best bookmark extension out there. Simple yet powerful.

占地小，速度快。足矣

Very useful and neat way to display bookmarks. But too many issues : 1/ The list's height cannot be resized manually. You have to scroll your bookmarks on a tiny 9 lines window. Width can be resized though. Weird choice. 2/ As I just wrote the height cannot be modified, BUT the list resizes itself to a very tiny 9 lines of bookmarks when at first install there were more lines. It's a bug I reported to the dev. 3/ a Middle click on a Bookmark opens 2 new tabs instead of one. 4/ icons of bookmarked webpages do not appear until we click on each link and visit it once. I installed another extension of this kind : Minimal Bookmarks Tree. And this one does : width/height resizing, middle click and tabs open the way they should, icons for each bookmarked webpage appear instantly after installation. Sadly I moved on to that extension that just work perfectly (so far).

Search is better than Ctrl+Shift+O which opens a new page and cannot be used toinvoke a bookmarlet on current page. Search allows you to use multiple words. Unfortunately cannot invoke a bookmarklet (Javascript) to apply to the current page. In fact can't invoke a bookmarklet at all even if doesn't to refer to the current page. I still give it 5 stars because it can be invoked wihout changing tab and does what you say it does.

Simple yet perfect

Great extension. Plays nice with others. Does its job. Nice layout/design. My favorite feature: search bar right at the top of the page! Kudos!

Couple little bugs: - When middle-clicking a link, it opens two new instances of a new tab, instead of just one - When opening the bookmarks, it flashes black for a split second, which is rather inelegant

Hi Dev, Please add an option to customize the looks of the popup when we click on the icon...Im currently using the "REcent bookmarks" extension by zamtools and the width and height of the popup is perfect...if you can add that it would be great...Also give an option to sort it based on recently added bookmarks...thankyou...hope u add them..

Excellent and neat little utility. I installed a number of other bookmark tools and was surprise that they required me to set up and account or jump through other loops. I especially like how "Neater" allows me to search and brings up all the links to a site, even ones that are not obvious. Good Job!!

the best bookmark organizer by far

It's ok but there's no way to add new folders from this menu

Remarkable... Great job!

I love this extension. However, lately I've been having trouble getting it to show without clicking the icon two or three times. Hopefully it will be updated.

I can use it again. These days the drop down menu doesn't display when I click the star icon. Now I uninstall it and install it again and it works. Thank you. My os: OSX Sierra Canary: Version 67.0.3388.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)

cool extension but search doesn't work

Works as expected, it's a great addition to Chrome.

Now this is a NEAT extension for bookmarking indeed! Thanks!

Very nice interface design. However search always creates an error. So does moving a folder to the top of the folder list. For these reasons I've removed it.

非常需要这么一款简洁好用的插件

I like the extension but it does seem to "crash" a lot.

The search is broken. Works sporadically, generally gives an error.

Design is really simple and nice but the search feature doesn't work. It would be nice to have an option that automatically sorted the bookmarks alphabetically too.

Easy and useful enough to me. Thanks a lot

Everything stays in line. Less cumbersome than the native Chrome bookmarks.

So far I love it but my favorite thing is that the folders are blue. I am not sure who's idea it was to make folders that hideous yellow. I have done many searches on how to make my folders (in the bookmarks bar) blue and nothing...

Checked all the check-boxes: Middle-click opens 2 tabs of the link clicked. Left-click doesn't leave the popup open.

Great and comfortable!

I suspect that the things I don't like are due to chrome rather than the plugin, but I wanted something that worked like IE's explorer bar. That is, always visible on the left hand side. Having to click an Icon to open the panel before I can click a fav link is a pain. Also when I imported my IE fav's, whilst the tree structure was preserved, the ordering of folders and links within folders was not. What I do like is the search.

this is a great product, no doubt about that. just have a suggestion- while clicking on the bookmark icon, please make the drop down tray (where all our bookmarks are held) a little bit aesthetic or pleasing to the eye.

ISSUES: -Middle-clicking bookmarks opens websites in 2 tabs instead of 1. -Search sometimes crashes. Great extension nonetheless

Very helpful that it autimatically shows the folder in which a bookmark is stored (major failure in Chrome).

Relief! Thank You!

It simply does what I need:-)

Middle click opens 2 copies of the page : /

Simple elegant and does what its supposed to do.

Very useful tool, I wish I had found it earlier.It allows everything Google Bookmark Manager does, such as moving and reorganising, but also allows searching all bookmarks (optionally their url's as well), as well as opening them in new tabs, windows, or incognito windows. Stays on your previous bookmark or search too. Excellent.

Essential plugin for anyone with more than a dozen bookmarks. It's perfect in every way.

The most convenient addon I have installed, this addon makes it so much easier to quickly access your bookmarks by clicking one button instead of routing through menus

Love it

it only repeats default google bookmark function - searcing, so, why do I need it?

The best bookmarks menu extension for Chrome.

Love it and will add the 5th star when Evan merges the fix for slowness at https://github.com/evanshultz/neater-bookmarks/issues/81 Pleeeeeeease, pretty-please Evan.

Great extension. Best in the marketplace for what it does.

I would give this extension all 5 stars, however, the only thing stopping me from doing that is the speed. When I first added the extension to Chrome, it took me awhile to realize it would take a second or two to open when clicked on. I would like it if it would open immediately, like everything else in Chrome. Otherwise, I love how I can organize my bookmarks with the tree view.

Today is like the third time in the last many months that I have had to go in and figure out how ti keep it open when I center button/scroll wheel click on a link. It just randomly changes, long enough between events that I forget the right setting, and have to click, try, click, try and keep clicking options until it is set right.

So I never review stuff. Ever. This is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Search, clean look, auto-collapses the drawing canvas. Perfect.

Simple and clean! Great extension.

Neater Bookmarks - Avg. ratings should be a full 5-stars. This is a great, free extension (Thanks evan.shultz!) that does not replace the 'other bookmarks' in chrome, but rather it adds the usual extension square above it that can be clicked for a clean, fresh, quick UI that may be customized as seen its overview (left of these comments). Thanks again

just what I was looking for. Thank you!

This is by far the easiest and most intuitive tool I've seen to access and manage bookmarks in any browser.

Can not deal with the web without this extension! Thank you!

Please remove the ability to delete bookmarks through the backspace/delete key only. I was using up/down and then backspace to remove search and start a new one and it started deleting bookmarks. Not too bad for websites but for Bookmarklets it's not good. Problem appears to be in treeKeyUp() where case = 46 // delete. Please consider commenting this out in future versions. Or maybe setting a parameter in options to allow delete by backspace or without warning on delete. Pluses are that you can search bookmarklets and run them. Adding a shortcut for the extension makes it better.

i see not much except a bit of aesthetic difference between this and stock bookmark. there is no organization or search including date bookmarks were created. Uninstalled

needs a bookmark button

Convenient but crashes often. Maybe it's because I have several hundred bookmarks, but still. Switching to nimble-bookmarks instead.

An amazing add-on.

Many features and options it could do with, but at least it's a bookmarks menu I can open with a shortcut & navigate with arrows. If anyone finds a way to with this extension, or any other extension, do the following things could you leave me a reply? I hope I get notifications for replies :/. * A menu that extends full height * A menu that opens on the left side of the screen * A way to remove the "search bookmarks" feature * A way to prevent opening multiple tab warnings on folder middle click

ITS WORKS FOR ME JUST FINE COULD NOT ASK FOR ANYTHING BETTER

It's very space friendly, and simplistic. Great work! Is it possible to map a shortcut to open the popup and gain focus? Also, kind of a sidenote, I wish I could adjust the font-size to the menu.

Just what I was looking for. The bookmarks bar is way too cluttered and this fixed the issue.

Useless. It pops some context menu instead opening a panel on the side. There's an option to keep the menu open, but it doesn't really work, as it still closes when switching tabs.

Very nice and thank you for giving us something that Google should be building into Chrome anyway. Couldn't change the folder icon though---Chrome thinks the extension has become corrupted as soon as I replace the image.

It would be great except it doesn't show all my folders????

It's simple but I was hoping for something more "manager".

This extension is a must-have! Has the option to open bookmarks in a new tab, which of course they should do by default (Chrome should know better).

Best bookmark extension yet, simple and useful.

Agree--need ADD NEW FOLDER option Yes PRO looking extension Nice Work!

No need for showing Bookmarks Bar anymore. Very neat!

I've tried and used many bookmark extensions over the years; I've stuck with this one the longest and it's proving to be my favorite. (warning: bad-pun) Neater Bookmarks? No sir. Neatest Bookmarks.

Why t'f did I just find out about this. This will seriously make your Chrome better. Just wish Google listened, kind of like how they are ruining YouTube.

Great addon, but the lower scalling limit of 90% is making text to large when I use a custom 125% DPI settings through the command line switch. Also the ability to scale the favourites window would make it even better.

I just bet there is some Google developer somewhere looking at this and saying to himself, "That is what I wanted in the first place." Simple, elegant, works as advertised. Full stop. (edit:) Typed too soon -- search function does not work in sub-folders. ...meh.. still a good extension.

I love the fact that it stays open. It is amazing that the "engineers" at Google cannot make this happen. But it does not have the function to create a new folder. I would think this is the first thing you would build into an app, since...duh... that is what a collection of bookmarks are! But, hey, what do I know. Or - the ability to do so is not obvious which is the same thing. Better than Google which does not say much. It seems to be impossible to get a simple bookmark app that is based on common sense??!!!

Not like what I required saving the bookmark on its own, but it presents the structure of bookmark verywell. It boost my productivity. Thanks!

The best bookmarks menu extension I have ever used.

Smart and simple. 'google like' search on your bookmarks, all integrated into your url bar, easy and efficient. Thanks for making our lives more productive !

The best Bookmark menu extension out there.

Best bookmark extension I've tried, and I've looked at a lot of them.

Very nice, but unfortunately does nothing about the horrendous new bookmarking function the geniuses at google have imposed on us. We are watching computer functionality intentionally driven downward, all for the sake of mobile phones.
