Create a web bookmarking toolbar for browsers
Switching between a browser and PB get's a bit tedious when adding a lot of webpages into a brain. It woud be nice to have a toolbar that allows you to add a webpage to a though without the need to copy and paste the URL!

I find myself using TheBrain exclusively for managing web bookmarks. If you're familiar with chrome, for example, you know its bookmark management is frustratingly basic. Yes there's firefox, which has advanced bookmarking with tags, etc, but you can't sync the two without data loss. And on my old mac I have to use chrome because firefox is way too slow.
The idea: the physical act of drag/drop web urls to my Brain is tedious, to be blunt. Like I said, my computer is old and slow, and to be honest, java apps like the brain are even slower. What I'd like to see is a bookmarklet widget for chrome, firefox, and safari that simply saves the current tab's url to the current node in the brain - in one click. If you want to get really fancy, the widget could have a dropdown that allows selecting pinned thoughts. -

I grab a lot of web pages. Typically, I set TheBrain to transparent mode and drag the url onto the spinning wheel of the active thought. TheBrain grabs the page title and URL and makes the page a child thought of the active thought.
