User reviews

Literally saved my bacon when the thousands of bookmarks I've saved over the years suddenly vanished. FYI, if something like this happens to you, try to disconnect at least one synced device from the internet. This will prevent the bookmarks from updating and being removed on that device as well. Example: I put an Android phone into Airplane mode, followed the authors instructions in the description, transferred the export file to my PC, then used the extension to import the bookmarks. They lost their directory structure, but that beats manually entering all the URLs in again! Thanks again Metamask!
