Project Description: Potential future improvement.
How to use the extension and how it compares to a radio system:
*Press a button to load the saved web page. In a radio system, press a button to recall the saved station.
*Hold a button to save the current web page, overwriting the current assignment. It will notify the user with a message box. In a radio system, hold a button to save the current station, overwriting the current assignment. Most systems will notify the user with a sound.*Initially all buttons are assigned to a blank page. In a radio system, initially all buttons are assigned to a station (most system systems assign the buttons to the lowest frequency).*Button label are static. It does not change as user bookmarks other pages. The only way to check where it links to is either through the browser bookmark folder or by testing/pressing it. In a radio system, the button label does not change and the only way to check what station it saved is by testing/pressing it.
*As the users advance, they might want to learn to use the built-in bookmark feature. All the button assignments are added as bookmarks item in the bookmark folder "Radio Button Bookmark". They can visualize the concept of bookmarking to the radio buttons easier as they have used it. In a radio system, it does not have an extensive bookmark feature.
Potential future improvement:
*Instead of message box, sound will be used to notify the user when a page is bookmarked.
*Some sort of indication will be used to notify the user which button they are currently on and which buttons are empty.
*Dynamic label, tooltips, and possibly favicon to identify the pages linked to the buttons.
*Option to add more than six buttons.
*Option to load the page in new tabs instead of the current one.
