One late night, I was juggling a work project, gift shopping, and a random documentary binge. My Chrome looked like a battlefield of tiny favicons. That’s when I realized: my brain doesn’t work in lists — it works in visual spaces. Visualinks was built to make Chrome match that way of thinking. Perfect For: ✔ Power users managing dozens of tabs ✔ Visual thinkers who prefer icons over text ✔ Anyone tired of Chrome’s default bookmark manager ✔ Productivity enthusiasts and digital minimalists 📌 Get Started: Install Visualinks today and turn your browser into a visual hub for everything you do online. Usage Instructions (Watch the video for step by step instructions): Right-click on any view to access actions like opening bookmarks, history, tabs, or reading list. Add links to items manually or by dragging from other Chrome dialogs. Hover over items to preview saved links. Assign icons individually to distinguish between similar links, even from the same domain. Customize every object (Item, Station, Dummy) with a title and a public image URL. Use search across all views to quickly access a link or jump to a specific room (available unless a dialog/context menu is open). Stations cannot be deleted without removing their children first. Objects and links are removed permanently once deleted from trash. Backup & Portability: Export your workspace from the options menu for backup or transfer to another device. Note: If the extension is uninstalled without exporting, your data will be lost. If you have any questions or issues, feel free to send an email or leave a comment on the YouTube video.
