The extension "Flat Bookmark Editing" is a wonderful example for a productivity tool that caused a qualitative change when I started using it. The principle of "permanently open tools" like in Photoshop isn't new and has a good reason: it dramatically reduces the editing effort. This is a key issue for converting the "bookmarks manager" into an "information manager" that contains more than the saved bookmark (tags, annotation, etc.). | The extension "Flat Bookmark Editing" is a wonderful example for a productivity tool that caused a qualitative change when I started using it.

Comment about "Editing Bookmarks": "When the user visits a page that exists within their bookmarks, the Tag button lights up and can be clicked to edit metadata." An option to put metadata editing as a permanently open tool in the sidebar could change the way we are using bookmarks because we could for the first time "add" to any website personal context that is available parallel to the website. This is actually an old idea and linked to Berners-Lee's ideas of a semantic web. | Comment about "Editing Bookmarks": "When the user visits a page that exists within their bookmarks, the Tag button lights up and can be clicked to edit metadata."

This "sidebar tool" could also be useful to display other information about the website such as white or black listed, blocked cookies, etc. | ||
