Bookmark EnhancerBookmarks you can actually use again
Most bookmark folders are where links go to be forgotten. Bookmark Enhancer gives you a way to work through what you saved, find it later, and throw out what died — for the bookmarks already in your browser.

Reading list and archive
A way to finish with a bookmark
Saving is easy; the pile is the problem. Set a page aside to read, mark it read when you are done, then archive it. Archiving takes it out of your active library without deleting it.
- Nothing is moved or copied. Reading state lives beside your bookmarks, so a bookmark stays in the folder you put it in.
- Archived is not deleted. It stays in your browser, in place, and comes back in one click.
- Today shows what you saved, read and cleared since midnight.
Search and selection
Find it without remembering the title
Search covers titles, URLs, tags and folder names. Pin the sites you save from most to filter to them in one click, across every folder at once.
- Shift-click to select a range, then tag, queue, archive or delete the lot.
- Import what you already have. The HTML file every browser exports, including Safari's reading list, plus CSV — with duplicates caught before anything is added.
- Keyboard first. Ctrl/Cmd K for the command palette, arrows to move, Esc to back out.
On-device AI
Help with the boring parts, without uploading anything
Chrome ships a language model that runs on your machine. Bookmark Enhancer uses it for the jobs nobody wants to do by hand. Your bookmarks are never sent anywhere, and there is no API key to set up.
Suggest tags
Reads the title and URL and proposes a few reusable labels.
Propose a folder structure
For the pile that never got sorted: suggests folders, then shows you the whole plan before making any.
Find near-duplicates
Catches the same page saved twice under different URLs, which exact matching misses.
Translate titles
Stores an English title beside a foreign one so search finds either. The original is untouched.
Shorten long titles
Turns a page's marketing headline back into something you can scan.
Search by description
Describe what you are after and it ranks the likely matches.
Every suggestion is shown for review, listing exactly what will change, before anything is applied. Needs a Chrome build with the built-in model; where that is missing, these features report it and the rest of the extension is unaffected. Firefox does not offer these APIs, so the Firefox build has no AI features at all.
Maintenance
Throw out what died
Find duplicate URLs, empty folders and tracking parameters. Check whether your links still resolve. Every destructive step lists what it is about to touch first.
- Ten local backups, each one restorable, downloadable or removable on its own.
- Scheduled cleanups that keep running in the background and catch up on anything missed while the browser was closed.
- Undo on delete, and archiving as the reversible alternative.
Insights
What your collection actually looks like
How it grew, which domains and folders dominate it, and which bookmarks you genuinely return to. Every chart also renders as a table, so nothing is conveyed by colour alone.
Privacy
There is no server to send anything to
Not a policy — an architecture. There is no account, no sign-in and no backend, so there is nothing to opt out of.
No network requests to show your bookmarks
Site icons come from the browser's own icon store. Opening the extension contacts nothing.
No third-party lookups
Earlier versions asked DuckDuckGo and Google for favicons, which disclosed every domain you had saved. That was removed in 3.0.
No site access by default
The extension installs with zero access to websites. It asks only if you start a link check, and works without it.
Your data stays local
Tags, reading state, settings and backups live in your browser's extension storage. Exports are written when you ask, to your own disk.
Questions
Does it change my existing bookmarks?
Only when you ask it to. It reads the bookmarks already in your browser and adds its own layer on top — tags, reading state, pinned domains — stored separately. Anything that renames, moves or deletes a bookmark shows you the full list first.
What happens if I uninstall it?
Your bookmarks are untouched, because they were never moved. You lose the extra layer: tags, reading state and local backups. Export first if you want to keep them.
Do I need the AI features?
No. They are opt-in per action and every other part works without them. If your browser has no built-in model the panel says so and nothing else changes.
Why does it ask for website access?
Only for checking whether your links still work, and only when you start a check. Without that access the browser hides the response, so a dead page and a working page look identical. Decline and the check still runs — it just can only spot sites that do not answer at all.
Does it sync between my devices?
No. Your bookmarks sync through your browser account as they always did. The extension's own layer stays on the machine it was created on; use export and import to move it.
Chrome and Firefox — are they the same?
Nearly. Firefox has no built-in AI model, so that panel is absent there, and it shows fewer site icons because it has no equivalent of Chrome's local favicon store. Everything else is the same.
Try it on the bookmarks you already have
It reads your existing library. Nothing to set up, no account, and nothing to undo if you change your mind.
