Summary

With this extension, bookmarks from a central JSON source can be loaded / synced into a local bookmark directory.

The reason why we've created this extension was the following: We wanted to sync bookmarks across all employees, but we didn't want to store them on a 3rd-party cloud service or alike. Because we're using (Git) merge requests, we thought it would be nice to load extensions from a Git-managed JSON file.

As you can see, you can store the JSON file on a Git collaboration platform or on any other web server / service.

The JSON file structure looks like this:

{ "confirm IT solutions": { "Website": "https://www.confirm.ch/", "Blog": "https://blog.confirm.ch/" } }
