As I’ve mentioned in my earlier posts, the new interface actually makes things slower and more frustrating. Bookmarks are now hidden behind an extra click – something we have to do every single time we want to open a bookmarked page. How is that supposed to be more efficient when it adds unnecessary steps to a task we do constantly?

I’ve submitted feedback through the official channel, but as we all know, the system gives no indication whether anyone is even reading it or plans to act on it.The solution is straightforward: keep the bookmarks panel permanently visible (exactly as it currently is in the old interface), because that version works perfectly.

With the help of AI here's an example of how much time is lost by hiding bookmarks. This is based on 100 clicks per day which will be probably way more to be honest:

Assumptions (conservative, real-world numbers)

• Average time for one extra click + mouse movement + waiting for the menu to appear: 2 seconds
  (Many usability studies show an extra click + hover + menu animation costs 1.5–3 seconds; 2 seconds is a fair middle ground.)
• You open 100 bookmarked pages per day (a very heavy user — most people are lower, but power users easily hit this).

Calculation

100 extra clicks × 2 seconds per click = 200 seconds extra per day

200 seconds = 3 minutes and 20 seconds extra every single dayYearly impact (assuming 5 working days per week, 48 weeks per year)200 seconds/day × 5 days/week × 48 weeks = 48,000 seconds per year

48,000 seconds ≈ 800 minutes ≈ 13 hours and 20 minutes wasted per year

Just to reach your bookmarks, nearly 2 full working days PER USER.
