SS37: scrollable bookmarks bar
msekmfb1 extensions and bookmarks bar are not editable by other extensions, and this is the huge limit of chromium based browser compared to safari (i don't mean this ** safari 13/14, but real safari with all features implemented before they launched mojave) and firefox.
PS: some extensions are able to create a sort of "extension specific bar" but doesn't work like safari style and google devs refused to allow extension devs to create a safari style bar (see chromium or just here: As of right now, we want to keep only the Omnibox/extension badge/navigation bar, and bookmark bar. Multiple extension bars would quickly clutter up the top part of the UI and reduce the amount of space for the web content itself and as such, we have no plans to implement something like this.). This topic is still not related to scrollable bookmark bar.
If I remember correctly, you can just start typing the letter to filter bookmarks by the letter in the context menu in any Chromium browser, or by using search button in the favorites popup in the recent Edge Canary (and Dev?) builds.
As I said previously, the %% percent of your suggested features will not be used more than a 1% of users if they've got implemented, plus every big project has a road map and feature tracker, and there's infinitely low odds that is would be corrected. If there's a feature that is wanted a lot of users (40-50% at least) for a long time, it would've added a long time ago.
So, that is the point of extensions - a web browser should be just a essential web browser, of course with many useful basic features to work with the web site content, all things that out of the scope should be implemented by the extensions.
And, in addition to that, there's no reason to make a Firefox or Safari from Edge - yes, Chromium UX is not ideal, but that does not mean that Edge or any other browser should became a Firefox (which UI is a somewhat over bloated TBH)/Safari clone.
