Add different viewing options for bookmarks
asked 2015-03-24 01:11:36 +0300
tldr; There needs to be more than one way to order a group of bookmarks.
Currently the bookmarks in the native browser are shown as icons in a grid with the name of the bookmark below the icon truncated to 10-14 characters.
It would be nice to have different viewing options for the bookmarks, e.g. see the bookmarks as a plain list (the name of the bookmark in one row so you can see the whole text), or with icons (as now) but as a list not as a grid (name of the bookmark next to the icon in one row).
I wish I could vote more than once on this. The updated browser is great, however, the new bookmarks view is almost unusable for me. I have several similar links which I now must "edit" to see which one is which. The previous list view was not only compact, but also a lot more helpful than the current one.

You could also change the favicon/thumbnail manually as discribed in my answer to the question Web bookmark icons in Launcher.
I would like to have a second edit option for the favicon in the long press context menu of a bookmark to simplify the process.
