[Feature request:] Add Favorites at the top of the settings pane #13

Open odebroqueville opened 6 years ago

odebroqueville commented 6 years ago

It would be really nice if we could add our favorite bookmarks, i.e. those we use most frequently, to the top of the settings pane, just under the title tabliss and above the Background settings.

By default, you could populate the Favorites section with the top sites (1-9) that one finds when clicking a new tab (when we're not using your extension!). It would just be a limited list of sites.

Would also be nice to be able to drag and drop sites from the url address bar to this section to add a new favorite site.

Personally, I'd find this particularly useful for visiting the social networks that I visit each day (e.g. G+, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc...). Then, clicking on a favorite site would open it in the current tab. You could add the thumbnails to the favorite sites right under the 'Type to search' text box.

That's 100% what i am missing right now.

Is this asking for a dynamic or static set of favorite sites? I think #171 covers static site (reusing the browser capability of configuring the Bookmarks Bar).

yafp commented 2 years ago

While #171 looks good - i would like to see the dynamic favorites as well

Similar to what Chrome is using/offering

I’m not sure what this is referring to. The Bookmarks Bar in Chrome is static; it doesn’t adapt to your browsing history. Is this some Chrome feature I missed?

yafp commented 2 years ago

Chrome has an option to show the most used websites on new tabs. This is in fact a dynamic approach - compared to utilizing the manually created favorites itself.

We might be talking about different features. #171 was referring to the top bar right below the address bar:

bookmark

In contrast, you might be referring to the rows of icons below the Google logo and the search bar (named “shortcuts”):

I feel that they should be implemented independently: they use different API for the data (bookmark API v.s. browsing history API), and they look quite different (shortcuts limits the total number of links, often 2x4 or 2x5). If both of you are asking for the latter, then this is not a duplicate of #171.

Hi,

personally i would like to see both - but i agree it's 2 different things. Sorry if that caused irritation.

I was searching for a dynamic "most visited" websites thing, and came across this. Does the mentioned merge mean that this is implemented ?
