"If you're still using the app list on the Pixel Watch 3, you're doing it wrong
Switch to grid view if you seek efficiency; keep the list view if you like wasting your time."

related - This is why there should be a grid view for chrome browser bookmarks. Even on a huge screen, a grid layout is a better launcher than a list.

The "favorites new tab page" extension is essentially the solution. Only problem is I/we can't seem to reach the developer of the extension. If you haven't tried favorites new tab page, give it a go. It's really nice.

I am unaffiliated with this extension but I rely on it as a launcher for my browser bookmarks. It's been very reliable for the past year and I wish I had known about it 5 years ago when it was released.

If anyone can get in touch with the developer, please tell them to update it to manifest v3.

the newest review on the chrome web store:

"One of my favorite extensions. I primarily use it as a launching page for my bookmarks, but unlike most other extensions who show me what they want me to see, Favorites allows me to display exactly what I want in the size and layout that I want. Please keep this extension alive!" -
