A bookmark manager that sees all your browsers at once
Most people's bookmarks are scattered. Some live in the browser you use now, some in the one you used three years ago, and some in a work profile you forgot existed. A browser's own bookmark manager only shows its own, and only for the profile you are signed into.
Bookmark Manager reads the bookmark files that Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, Opera and Firefox keep on your PC, across every profile each one has, and lists them together. Every row shows the title, the folder it sits in, which browser and profile it came from, the month you saved it and whether the link still works. Type in the search box to filter titles, links and folders as you go, and click a browser's chip to hide or show its bookmarks.
Above the list, a shelf called Saved by year stacks your bookmarks into one column per year, each tile carrying the site's icon. Click a column to narrow the list to that year, and spot at a glance the years that are mostly grey, which means mostly dead.
Where are my bookmarks on this computer?
Each browser stores bookmarks in a file inside its profile folder, and every extra profile gets a file of its own. That is why bookmarks seem to go missing after a profile switch or a browser change: they are still on the disk, just not in the window you are looking at.
Open Bookmark Manager and it finds those files for you. If it comes up empty, the six browsers it looks for are not installed for your Windows account, or their bookmarks exist only in an online sync account rather than on this PC.
How to find and remove dead and duplicate bookmarks
Old links rot. Sites close, pages move and addresses change, and a bookmark folder slowly fills with places you can no longer reach. Here is the cleanup, step by step:
- Click Check links. Eight links are tested at a time and a counter shows progress; Stop ends it early.
- Read the Status column. Each bookmark comes back as Working, Dead, Redirects or Duplicate, and dead ones say why: 404 gone or 410 gone, No such site, No reply or Refused.
- Right-click anything you want to hold on to and choose Keep it, leave out of cleanup.
- Close the browsers involved, then click the Clean up button. A copy of each bookmarks file goes to the backup folder before a single entry is removed.
- Firefox bookmarks appear, get checked and can be exported, but they are never edited.
Export bookmarks to HTML, CSV or JSON
Copy to another browser saves whatever the list is currently showing. Choose Bookmark file for any browser (.html) to keep your folders and import them into a new browser, Spreadsheet (.csv) to sort and audit them in a spreadsheet, or JSON (.json) for scripts. Because the export follows your search and browser filters, you can save just one year, one profile or one folder rather than everything.
