Hi, Is it possible to provide the feature to add our favourites? So that we do not have to manually type the URL address

Hi @hannah23280, thank you for you submission. Please elaborate a little more on the actual need: How often you expect to add/remove a site from favourites? How many favourite sites you expect to have? Would you be ok with configuring the favourites in a configuration file instead of a UI?

Implementing fully fledged favourites sites list management sounds like a lot of UI work but maybe we can come up with something simpler that will satisfy your needs. Cheers.

Here is an example solution. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Hand-crafted home page

You could write a simple HTML page (single HTML file stored locally) that contains clickable links and use it as the home page by using a local file URL like this: file:///Users/plaskowski/dev/private/test/bookmarks.html This way the only thing missing on plugin side would be a "home" button which is trivial to add. Of course you could use any online site (e.g. dedicated online service for bookmarks) in the same manner.

Hi @hannah23280, I have added the home page button in 1.5.0 version. To configure the home page url check out initial_url in Configuration section in project readme. Cheers.
