Bug Description

I like the new design of the webbrowser-app, but putting bookmarks under New Tab is non-intuitive. Furthermore, you may want to navigate to a bookmark from the current tab, but this doesn't seem to be possible.

summary: - can't find bookmarks with new design
+ bookmarks not easily found with new design

Thank you for your feedback

The rationale for having them in a new tab rather than in a separate screen is that:

1) new tab is going to be available in the future with a simple gesture
2) bookmarks are often used to start a new navigation path

It will become intuitive after using it for a while. Having bookmarks on a separate screen is just a UI convention
