The best of the chrome versions of the firefox extension. There are some bugs when you try to display other than newest to oldest. e.g. it shows the last entry multiple times if you select oldest to newest.

@ KristofferPwn: Thanks for the icon. As for the idea, I’ve implemented it in the latest version 1.2.0

Here’s a nice and free icon for you;0) http://www.iconspedia.com/icon/bookmark-13004.html

I think you should at least add a “Add this page to RIL” under the pop up menu, instead of “Adding the page when you click the button”. That way the extension can be used as a reading list as well as a way to add things to RIL. The ability to remove things from the list within the popup by checkmarking or something like that would also be nice ;o)

These are just my opinions though, keep up the good work

@scraimer: Is it possible that you could make the 1.0.x interface’s checkmark (for marking read/unread in a single click) in address bar a toggleable option in a future release, with the toolbar button just bringing up the list (i.e., doesn’t mark as read/unread) while the address-bar-checkmark is present?

The lack of that is enough of an issue for me (as a long-time Firefox user of RIL, the new interface simply doesn’t feel right) that I have downgraded to 1.0, and will remain there unless the option is added.

With that out of the way, the extension is very pleasant to use, although my above complaint still stands – 1.0.0 (and 1.0.1, except that it automatically updates to 1.1.0, of course) is considerably more pleasant than 1.1.0.

For those reasons, I give it 4/5 (perfect except for the interface annoyance).

@amitre: I’m planning to work on that next! If I have some time this week, the feature might be done by the end of the week. I was thinking about doing “prev” and “next” like in the Firefox extension, but now that you suggest it, maybe scrolling will be better..? I’ll try both and see. Maybe I’ll default to one, and have an option to choose which one.

@Kristoffer: Frankly, I can’t draw to save my life. As it is, the icon already shows you that clicking on the “hollow” checkmark will make it checked, which I like a lot. Can you suggest a different icon? It’ll need to be royalty free, and freely distributable with Artistic-license code…

Oh, and I wish I could control what happens on right/left click, or even detect where the click happened. As it is, right now Chrome only reports that a “click” happened, without any additional data (I don’t know which mouse button was pressed, I don’t know where on the icon the click happened – nothing.) If and when they add such features, I’ll make use of them.
