Am I the only one who thinks this is a bad idea? I open new tabs for a reason - to open another webpage.

This will both annoy me and distract me.

Reading the comments everyone loves the idea and gives basically the same reasons I gave for hating it. Whats wrong with me?



Everyone has a startup they wish was receiving more publicity, this product does that for free. The problems with it however. Occasionally I have to wait a little while while the page is loading or it fails to load at all. One time I received a js notice informing me that Google Maps is disabled for the website I was currently on. That's enough for me. I don't want to wait for new tabs to open which then sometimes interrupt me.


AHA! There is a big problem for my usability. I press the tab in chrome to get view my bookmarks and use them. now they are gone ! uninstall !


Chrome should fix this. There should be a way to have an app (in a tab) and also to show the bookmarks bar on that one page. Then an option in the app could turn it on and off. Beyond this apps control, probably.

A link isn't enough. I need one click access to my bookmarks.


A bookmark link will be added soon. in the meantime you can use chrome://bookmarks/#1


I had the same exact reaction


You don't have to use the extension. I personally see this as a StumbleUpon for startups, which I think is pretty cool.


Don't think anything is wrong with you. But I think people enjoy random, new and sometimes interesting.
