Why are bookmarks second class citizens in browsers?
For quickly loading bookmarks, I made an extension that allows you to open or add a bookmark by typing a keyword for it into the address bar:
https://github.com/binarynate/omnibookmarks
I use it constantly (probably hundreds of times per day) to load common pages I use for running by business and living my life.

Show HN: Browser extension to quickly open/add bookmarks via keywords like a CLI
I recently decided to open source this extension that I've been using personally for over a year. I use it heavily, but it especially comes in handy when I'm answering support emails for the product I develop, because it allows me to quickly pull up URLs (to documentation, support pages) to include in the support emails. The extension itself is extremely simple (less than 150 LOC), which makes it easy for others to visually check and audit:

Like the README mentions, I created this extension as a replacement for Hashmem, which offered the same mechanism for saving pages. I have to give credit to Hashmem for coming up with the simple way of opening and adding bookmarks, which Omnibookmarks emulates. However, the Hashmem extension was removed from the Google Chrome Store over a year ago for a policy violation, its code was obfuscated, and it required permission to send data to its own servers is Russia. So, I created Omnibookmarks as a simple open source replacement with a focus on security and transparency.

Why are bookmarks second class citizens in browsers?
This is what I do:
When busy I have the following:
- Chrome window with personal Google Account and 2-5 tabs
- Chrome window with company Google Account and 2-5 tabs
- A third browser window as a media player (https://github.com/curzel-it/pipper)
Bookmark bar is set to always visible, and I have exactly 10 bookmarks:
