Google Chrome Extension – Fancy Bookmarks

Since Google has deleted Fancy Bookmarks three times from the Chrome Webstore, i’m posting it here.

Cause for the deletion?
Lazy users who are not able to read.
How unexpected. ;-)

Some Examples:
“I CANNOT UNINSTALL, PLX PLX PLX HELP!!!!!!111111″ -> rate with zero stars -> huh? Wrench -> Tools -> Extensions -> Uninstall. Where’s the Problem? Oh yeah, it’s sitting in front of the keyboard.
“HELP HELP HELP, REPLACES ANY NEW TAB WITH ITSELF!!!! EVIL EVIL!!!” -> rate with zero stars -> huh? see features? it’s stated there.

Sometimes i really want a rating function for users. If a users gets enough “zero-star”-rates -> cut his internet connection forever!

    Sounds all too familiar… I do like this comment “Sometimes i really want a rating function for users. If a users gets enough “zero-star”-rates -> cut his internet connection forever!”
    But instead, maybe they should attend a 1 week compulsory training in Internet basics before being allowed back on probation

    Looks awesome, will try it out :)
    Good thing it was removed from the store, or you wouldn’t have talked about it :p

      Wow, something weird is happening…
      If no fancy bookmark tab is opened, opening a new tab opens what I’ll call a slow fancy tab : blank tab, constantly loading, titled “Fancy Bookmarks”.
      Once this slow tab is opened, new tabs open smoothly and appear to be correct Fancy Bookmark tabs. If I close the slow tab but keep one fancy tab open, it still works.
      But when no Fancy Tab is open, a new tab always create a slow fancy tab.
      I’m using Chrome Dev 18.0.1003.1 with Linux.

      Also, it would be cool to be able to drop existing bookmarks on the tiles to fill them more easily (or being able to select an existing bookmark when clicking on an empty tile).
