Bookmarks Clean Up is a powerful Chrome extension designed to help you organize and maintain your bookmark collection effortlessly. It allows you to find and delete duplicate bookmarks, remove empty folders, merge folders with the same name within the same path, and identify dead or expired bookmark links for quick removal. The extension requests bookmark permissions upon install and only accesses website data if you opt to check for broken URLs, ensuring both functionality and privacy.

With regular updates, including migration to Manifest V3 and UI improvements, this tool provides a seamless experience to keep your bookmarks tidy. It also offers customizable options such as excluding folders from scanning and enhanced keyboard accessibility. Note that deleted bookmarks cannot be restored, so backing up is recommended before use. Support for this extension is welcomed via Patreon or cryptocurrency donations.

User reviews

Users appreciate that 'Bookmarks clean up' effectively finds duplicates and dead bookmarks, helping tidy large collections quickly with a simple interface. However, many wish it had better bulk selection tools and automated options to manage duplicates, as manual deletion is time-consuming. Some users also note the UI is basic and reporting could be clearer. Despite these issues, most find it reliable for cleaning bookmarks and removing empty folders.

I really needed this I had way to many bookmarks I did not need and they were copies of copies of copies. So glad I found this app it helped so much.

Does absolutely nothing that it says it does. Absolute waste of time and space. Avoid. I manually deleted all the 100s of duplicates I had after installing this. Didn't stop them coming back.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Bookmarks clean up requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
