In plain words

Backburner is a Chrome extension that stores website bookmarks separately from standard bookmarks. It allows users to save links they want to keep but don't need immediate access to, creating an organized collection of "back burner" websites. The tool is designed for anyone who accumulates web links over time and wants a dedicated space to organize them without cluttering their main bookmarks.
