- Rated 5 out of 5by Cyberknight, 8 months agoThis is by far the best bookmark manager. It finds duplicates with a single click, then offers options to select them (another click can select all duplicated bookmarks, except the first, and one more can remove the rest, couldn't be any simpler!) What's best about this extension is not even the options: while others do whatever they were supposed to do silently, keeping one wondering if they're working or just failing and crashing quietly, this one shows a nice progress bar! It also has an advanced filter mode that can go beyond exact duplicate finding.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Brube98, 9 months agoAbsolutely beautiful, well made and much needed. The dev has clearly dealt with horrific cross-folder bookmark dupes from browser imports, handling everything from 'keep all but oldest' and 'keep all but newest' schemes all the way to empty folder cleanup when the deed is done. Too good to pass up on a review.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18322529, 9 months agoI love that this add-on is not shy to give a ton of options. I have MANY bookmarks and needed bulk actions, and this one is the only one who has it and I tried several add-ons! <3

Firstly, it does work if you have time and know how to navigate around the complexity of this extension.
It takes approximately 1.7 seconds to delete one single "dupes".
Now, if you have over 13000 duplicates it will take more than 6 hours (with your PC fans whirring) despite the CPU load being at 12%.
Extention doesn't scan ALL your bookmarks (across different folders and subfolders) at once. Even then, it's not detecting duplicate urls within the same folder (most of the time).
In other words, you can have duplicate urls across many different folders but it won't detect them because it can only scan one bookmark folder at a time. There's no option to scan all folders.
There is no real instructions too and it can be very tricky to use. It's overly complex and needs to be simplified.Developer response

Do not enable "expert mode".

If it takes more than milliseconds (in average) to delete a bookmark, something is wrong on your system. It might be running out of memory. A more frequent cause for big latencies is that another tool is interfering, for instance another bookmark extension.
> Extention doesn't scan ALL your bookmarks (across different folders and subfolders) at once
This is incorrect. The name (path) of bookmarks is completely ignored for detecting duplicates (if expert mode is disabled).
> Even then, it's not detecting duplicate urls within the same folder (most of the time).
Two bookmarks are considered identical if their URL is *exactly* the same string. Only in expert mode, you can configure different rules, but this requires that you specify very precisely what you want to consider matching.
> It's overly complex and needs to be simplified
Specifying different rules than identical strings for URLs *is* a very complex problem and can find unexpected dupes especially for apparently simple rules. This lies in the nature of things. That's why "expert mode" is usually not recommended (unless you really understand regular expressions and carefully read the instructions).
