You can use Show All Bookmarks to "overlay" the bookmark window on the
active content window, drag/drop a URL from any location window, then
use Hide All Bookmarks to restore the original content window.  And
bookmark folders are spring loaded.

That's as far I got with a few minutes of tinkering. :-)

It's now a three-ring browser circus for me.  OmniWeb's still primary,
for its features and style/feel; Chimera, for speed and tabbed browsing;
Safari, for curiosity and comparison.  I'm still puzzled how to manage
bookmarks across all of them.  Maybe it doesn't matter if they each use
their own separate, unsychronized copy since each browser is intended to
access different sites.

OW's "Play up to N times" image preference for animations is one of
several rarely-mentioned features I like that the other browsers I
use don't have.  Without it, Chimera likes to consume CPU on animated
GIF pages (and at other times, for unknown reasons), and I notice it
on my iBook 600.  Safari is generally more CPU-friendly, tho' slower
than Chimera on sites where speed is priority, and lacks too many of
OW's priority features.

And didn't someone say browser wars ended a few years ago?  Maybe on
Windows, but that issue is certainly alive and kicking on OS X. :-)
