This this this. It would be so much easier to have this functionality, and it would almost certainly use less resources because you might not even be required to open a new tab, maybe you want to open in the current tab, or maybe you want to run a javascript bookmarklet, or something as simple as just viewing a bookmark for whatever reason.
But the last one isn't so useful since the bookmarks URL doesn't show in the status bar, and doesn't show a tooltip on hovering them. Or it could be that my bookmarks were so tall that it covered the status bar, which would be a bug. (and not an uncommon bug either, it happens in pretty much every browser i have used) Having to open the bookmarks manager can be a pain, but that is totally my fault for badly named bookmarks... (just a shame some sites have horrible page titles) And on the toolbars, an idea i had in another thread was a button that opened a bar with the topmost toolbar, and arrow buttons to scroll through the toolbars (and scrollwheel compat.) Or it could display a number of toolbars with a scrollbar to browse them if there are more than a specific number. (i think the idea i had was 1/5 of the screen rounded up to the nearest whole Managing the order of them could be done from that screen, at the end of each bar there is 2 arrows to position them, or it could be done with a gripper + drag&drop, but arrows are simpler IMO, and easier to understand. And the icon could be 2 bars (or 1) with a hammer hanging from one, simplest idea i could come up with at the time. This is an ideal method for handling them, but whether or not this will ever happen is another question, it is the best method i can think of and it fits in with the simplicity of the Chrome interface.
