Words fail me in describing the grandeur of its sucktitude.

* You can drag the address bar icon onto the bookmark toolbar,
  either itself or onto one of the folders you have there. If
  it's a folder, you can only add the bookmark to the bottom.
  That's it. You have no more control than that.

* The theme of not being able to drag into a particular place
  inside a folder extends to the bookmark manager. So if you want
  to rearrange your bookmarks, you have to go through a lengthy
  and elaborate dance of putting things to the bottom of other
  folders, then retrieving them from there to their desired place.

* If you're dragging bookmarks in the manager, dropping *onto* a
  bookmark rather than *between* two bookmarks will *load* the
  bookmark you just dropped, replacing the bookmark manager,
  inside that tab.

  If you click Back, the bookmark manager is left in a state
  where you can no longer drag anything. So if you miss your
  2-pixel drop target, you'll have to close that tab and open
  another manager tab, and find your place again in that one.

* If you open two Chrome windows and open a bookmark manager in
  each, *then* you can drag bookmarks directly from one folder to
  a specific place in another, by selecting both the source and
  destination folders in one window each, and then dragging the
  bookmarks across windows. This is marginally less elaborate of
  a sequence than working inside a single window. Nonetheless it
  is comically clumsy.

* There is no undo. If you delete a bookmark, it's gone. Forever.
  There is no "Are you sure" either, of course. Poof.

These are the tortures I can remember. I know I forget much more
of the circumstantial pain visited upon me by this unspeakably
execrable part of an otherwise quite tolerable piece of software;
an exhaustive list should have to be twice as long.

Join me in hatred,
