## Review summary

Users praise easy installation, reliable performance, and the ability to export a chosen bookmark folder quickly, saving time and avoiding manual editing. The main recurring downside is the search feature, which many find limited or not fully reliable (not matching queries across titles and URLs). Overall, it's valued for enabling selective exports in Firefox where native options are lacking, with some requests for improved search and additional features in future updates.

### Pros

- Easy to install and works right away.
- Allows exporting a specific bookmark folder via right-click (selective export).
- Saves time by exporting only the bookmarks you need instead of the whole set.
- Simple and does what it promises; reliable for everyday use.

### Cons

- Search/filter functionality is limited or not fully reliable, with queries not matching as expected (titles/URLs).
