Summary
Every day we surf the web. Dozens or hundreds of sites. Some we already know, some we don't... if they are interesting, we bookmark them. Convenient. But after a while we find ourselves with hundreds of bookmarks, and as time goes by some sites you bookmarked, well... died :(
So frustrating when you click on a bookmark, expect a site to pop up, but all you get is "404, Page Not Found"! To stay organized check your bookmarks regularly : so you can keep track of your topics and update the visual bookmarks that are no longer valid.
With this extension it is quick and simple : batch check your bookmarks, review them, and delete the broken bookmarks that are no longer valid. You can also check if there are duplicated bookmarks (bookmarks that point to the same URL).
Here is how it goes : at first your bookmarks are "unchecked" (symbol : empty circle). Click on the empty circle next to CHECK ALL to start scanning your bookmarks (click again if you want to stop) : your bookmarks statuses will change to "success" (symbol : green circle with checkmark) or "timeout" (symbol : black circle with clock) or "error" (symbol : red circle with cross).
MENU CHECK ALL : batch check your (unchecked |timeout | error) bookmarks DELETE ALL : delete your (timeout | error) bookmarks. WARNING : NO UNDO VIEW/HIDE : when working on hundreds of bookmarks or more it is handy to wiew or hide (unchecked | success | timeout | error) only the bookmarks you need to focus on. TIMEOUT : the time each bookmark request has to wait before it is tagged as "timeout". Set this parameter to 1 second and the scan will fly... but many sites won't have enough time to respond.
