I don't really understand how a proxy could handle bookmarks? Blocking
and changing pages, sure (privoxy etc).
The blocking in Fifth is already a library (liburlmatch) as I
anticipated it would be useful to others. Otter decided to go with
AdBlock-like syntax though instead of Opera-like like Fifth.

can you tell me how a proxy couldn't handle bookmarks?
assuming a proxy can bind requests (urls/headers) to arbitrary commands
and return their data to the browser

There exist people who use their bookmarks via a menu ;) A proxy would
only serve those who use bookmarks via typing only.

I don't understand that conclusion
(and I'm no keyboard extremist by the way)

What are bookmarks? They are menu items really. That's a GUI thing, not
something that can be abstracted by a proxy.
Thus, adding the proxy in the mix adds nothing. Before:
GUI item "foo" maps to http://myurl
After:
GUI item "foo" maps to magicstring, which the proxy maps to http://myurl
To me that is purely unneeded complication. If you mean the GUI item
should simply be the title "foo", that doesn't really simplify much, as
then you have to change it in two places when you edit your bookmarks.

What are bookmarks?
bookmarks are records
mine contain arbitrary attributes
which are not necessarily supported by a given browser
(i.e. a good reason to keep them separate)
To me that is purely unneeded complication
it may seem complicated to separate/modularise things
but I aim for simplicity
(and control of configuration)
then you have to change it in two places when you edit your bookmarks.
you lost me...
I expose my bookmarks as a web page
which can be served to any browser
it works well enough to manage bookmarks with a local web server
but it may as well be a proxy
and that's what this is about (not bookmarks):
a proxy to separate configuration/data from browser/code
and a proxy specifically designed for browser augmentation
seems quite interesting/useful to me
anyway
go ahead and close the issue if you wish
I only raised the issue as you seemed of like mind :}
