This extension allows to find and delete duplicate bookmarks, empty folders, merge folders with the same name (within the same path), find no longer working and expired bookmarks and remove them easily.
Permissions explained:
1. Read and change your bookmarks(required on install) – required for core functions to work
2. Read and change all your data on the websites you visit(optional, not asked until you use Broken URLs checker) – to check if bookmarked page loads and doesn’t return any error.

Warning: there is no way to restore removed bookmarks, so make sure backup your bookmarks before using this extension.
If your screen becomes RED, saying that site is deceptive while scanning for broken links you can have 2 options:
1. Remove this site from your bookmarks: (error screen shows which site causes error, just open bookmarks manager and search for this site)
2. Disable this “feature” in chrome (go to Settings -> Advanced -> Under “Privacy and security,” turn off “Protect you and your device from dangerous sites”),

nice!!
Works as promised. I used it to find duplicates after merging (manually) my custom chrome profiles from different machines. It found all of them and made removing them easy. Thank you for the work.
Does what it says but could be a lot better. Merges Dupe folders without any check – so if you call two subfolders Misc for example in different parent folders you get boned. On duplicates it COULD allow a select one of each to remove option but removing 50+ dupes one at a time becomes tedious.
There used to be an extension for Fast Bookmark Scanner II if memory serves. Did a better job but no longer on store.
Good for someone who isn’t very bogged down with a ton of bookmarks, but the method seemed slow for someone who has a bigger need. Went with a more automated and quicker extension.
No instructions on how to use this.

Sehr hilfreich!
This has made chrome unusable and even after uninstalling it chrome has become a memory hog. Very unusual!
Foram anos colecionando bookmarks, descobri que pelo menos 500 deles não existem mais kk muito útil a extensão, devia ser recurso nativo…
It’s waaay too easy. This is the stuff. Had 3000+ bookmarks – cleaned it up in 15 minutes, now I have 1100. Cleaned the dupes, folders, dead links. Awesome stuff.
1 thing that I would like to see improved – Donation! Wanted to send over some love, but I’m not familiar with bitcoin and not yet ready to become a patreon on a regular basis. However still willing to send some bucks over as a 1 time payment lol =)
@itwillnotbeasy, honestly.. Thanks. A lot! Awesome, clean, simple extension that does what it claims to do. Keep it up.
It does what it says it will and works like a charm. 🙂
Used this to clean out a ton of duplicate bookmarks, and it did the trick! Very easy to use, and does exactly what it says it will.
smart useful simple intuitive simple. if only life was so easy…
Très impressionné. Bien fait et fonctionnel.
最好用,最快的一个。The best bookmark manager ever used.
Good to use
很實用,謝謝!
I am using it now. The broken link finder is awesome!
This works better than the Super Sorter, in finding duplicates, but here is a problem for windows in Dark Mode, You CAN NOT SEE the folders to exclude in Options.
Also, it lacks the option to select all but last or certain folders.. ..
I just checked it, there is a bug. if you pick options from the ICON(right mouse click) and then try to view the folders to exclude to pick, the windows is solid black, but if you open it up to click on find duplicates,and choose the same option there from that page in the settings, you can see the options.
Thanks so much for this! After years struggling with 1000’s of duplicate bookmarks this is the first add-on that has been able to really help. For some reason many of my duplicates were in a single folder. It would be great to have an option to auto-delete duplicates that appear in certain folders.
SO GOOD! I’ve never left a review for a chrome extension before, but this thing just whipped my entire bookmarks section into shape. I had re-imported my bookmarks 5 times over the years (by accident, I swear!) and I hated looking through my list. This extension saved me soooo much time~
Really? I have to check ALL of the thousands of duplicates by hand, to delete them??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? On this Fu***ing slow extension??? In this case, i can delete them by hand in the Bookmark-manager. That’s quite the same workload, maybe faster. Sorry, but tis extension is useless if there is no selection-automation.
Brilliant work! Had a bunch of old non working urls buried in my bookmarks. This solved that! Awesome job, and very much appreciated!
북마크 통합하고, 정리하는데 최고네요
太爽了!!手動刪除不完還一直畫圈圈等回應的討厭書籤,一次幹光!
