I also built such an extension half a year ago [0]. The first iteration was a local-first natural-language full-text search for the browser history [1]. The second iteration was focusing on bookmarks [2].
None of these could spark enough interest to get feedback on what users want. I am sharing this experience so that you may study my attempt, if you want.
I love it. I wrote an RFS[0] based on a similar idea. The big value prop in my mind isn’t the single user experience but rather automated trust signals on content quality based on access by members of your network graph and their proximity.
Hopefully yourself, author, and others continue to work on this idea.
Thank you! Will take a look at these. We mostly made this to solve something for ourselves and as a learning exercise, but hoping this may resonate with others too
