LinkStash Bookmark Manager is a powerful Windows-only bookmark management tool that seamlessly integrates with Chrome through this extension. It allows users to bookmark webpages and documents, check for dead links and duplicate URLs, generate and manage passwords, and store tags, comments, and ratings—all while ensuring privacy through encryption.

The Chrome extension acts as a bridge that enables communication between LinkStash on Windows and the Chrome browser, making bookmark organization and management straightforward and secure. Users can search, organize, and take their bookmarks on the go using a portable flash drive. Please note this extension requires the LinkStash desktop software installed from https://www.xrayz.co.uk/linkstash and does not support Android, Chrome OS, Mac, or Linux platforms.

Looking at images, it looks good, but actually it is not working to synchronize between chrome and the software itself plus many issues in the software. I hope you'd solve them some day.

UPDATE 20250509 I reached out to John and he solved my problem in a blink. When this piece of software does works, it's just the best in the world to keep what's important in a digital world full of noise and irrelevant stuff. ====================================================== Extension is broken. Doesn't work in sync with my paid software anymore. Uncaught Error: Attempting to use a disconnected port object var port = chrome.runtime.connectNative('uk.co.xrayz.linkstash'); function openLinkStash() { port.postMessage({ "command": "show" }); close(); }

Llevo años usando esta extension y el programa. Es una extensión maravillosa, pero ojalá se le pudiera poner una combinación de botones para cada una de sus 3 funciones. Aunque eso no le quita el ser una extensión muy útil.
