FavBox

I am a guy with roughly 12k bookmarks. I always like to save and categories my sources of information or things of interest on a particular topic whenever it's technical , abstract , or just interesting. I don't trust the longevity of alternative cloud based solutions like Raindrop , and I don't have the time and energy to self-host my own Bookmarks as with Linkwarden. All I wanted was just a nice-looking , local-first viewport thing , with the ability to add tags. This app is very much delivered what I wanted , displaying bookmarks visually with thumbnails , having a tag system, and having a purview option without opening the website. Importing was slow and took 2 hours or so and a few refreshes , but once it finishes , it's beautiful and looks useful. Though , it doesn't work well with some bookmarks , particularly a few ones from Reddit and Google Books , of which I had hover over the block , and look at the bottom left textbox to show the full link so I can identify the block's link. This sometimes annoys me. The alternative system of turning folders into selectable collections that operate like filters is a genial idea , but people should be aware that when selecting a collection that used to be a master folder (Folder containing only subfolders) in the default Chrome bookmark : it will return no results , as selecting a collection can only returns links. This is going to involve a letting go of thinking in hierarchies and order of folders , or instead memorizing them to know the exact collection that needs to be selected. Overall , I highly recommend this extension . In fact , from the plenty of ones I personally tried like Bookee , this is pretty much the only app that is local-first and handles so many bookmarks quite well and I really don't know why it doesn't rank well in the search results here compared to GitHub. If all what somebody wants is simply a visual way to represent their Chrome bookmarks : this is definitely a top choice they need to try out.

Preview Page feature did not work all of my bookmarks. I will keep it. It is promising.

Lovely extension for bookmarks!
