Chrome bookmarks widget
Could you please add a Bookmarks widget that shows your Chrome bookmarks instead of just the ones you add manually?

I’ve decided against postponing this a little while so it can be translated and instead added it now.
The new widget will be released with the next update. It will replace the old widget in new widget installations.

Thanks for listening to the community Avi. I too think this is a great idea.

@NuVz, I've been thinking about setting different tabs on different computers and have come to the conclusion that it should be offered as part of more advanced sync management (disconnect, copy, group, etc. computers) to Pro users.
I plan on adding full drag-n-drop reorder support to the Apps widget at around V2.1.4.
The Chrome app launcher has large icons, there isn't enough space for more than ~12 bookmarks. I figure this should probably look just like the current widget but I'm not sure.
Thank you for the feedback,

Ive been thinking about how this would work and i guess its down to how you use chrome.
For me i use chrome at work and home and so tabs option is ok however a neat idea would be to enable default tab based on location (ip/wifi??) that would help split how i set up the homepages based on what info is more relevant.
Next i find myself using chrome apps as short cuts as they are quicker to launch than finding book mark even tho the ordering sucks... My next suggestion is allow personal orders for chrome apps (drag and drop i.e. google launcher)
Bookmarks, I think to keep the user experience the same a similar window to chrome apps window with ability to personalise the order of the folders synced from chrome bookmarks, these folders will open within the same window and display fav icon before bookmark link.
Please let me know what you think of my idea? Thanks

Since this has been getting interest lately, I've reopened it.
I still don't know how I'd add this. I'm not sure if it should be it's own widget in which case you can't edit the bookmarks directly, but it would stay in sync with Chrome or if it should be added as an import feature on the existing widget.

Incredible startpage offers this. They allow you to choose a folder to display as a list. I want to move to iChrome but will stay with incredible till this happens.

I'd be happy to add this, but I can't figure out how they'd be shown.
Personally I have 119 bookmarks and I'm not a "power user" (I never use features like pinned tabs, etc.).
I need feedback though, would you find a widget with 100 bookmarks in a list useful?

Tbh I think this idea makes sense, if u use chrome a lot then why would u want add book marks twice in to chrome and Ichrome (need to add to chrome for android sync). It would also give more options other than horrible chrome book mark bar.

@Shane Shepherd, No homepage extension for Chrome (that I know of) offers this. You can also manually create your bookmarks with the Bookmarks widget.

Damn! Looks like I'll be going elsewhere for a homepage...
