What is Bookmarks clean up?
'Bookmarks clean up' is a handy Chrome extension designed to declutter and organize your web browsing experience. It finds and removes duplicate bookmarks, deletes empty folders, and identifies broken bookmark links for easy removal. This extension seeks permission to read and change your bookmarks for its core functions. It also allows optional permission to read and change all your data on the websites you visit to check if bookmarked pages are still working. However, please back up your bookmarks before using this extension as there is no way to restore any unchecked removed bookmarks.

Es justo lo que necesitaba, no hay otro programa como este. Me mira todos los Favoritos y mira que los enlaces sean correctos. Cuando tienes centenares de Favoritos llega un punto que no sabes si funcionan o no y no piensas en ir revisando uno por uno si los links son correctos, este Bookmarks Clean Up te lo hace por ti, es super útil.

Great extension! It worked perfectly. I even double-check the various types of results and they were always accurate. Watch for certain types of results, tho. 404 errors are fine to remove but other errors that are unknown might be because you aren't logged in to a site and its prompting for user/password. It doesn't hurt to open the link to double-check.

BACK UP YOUR BOOKMARKS FIRST! Better safe than sorry. The app warns you of this which I really appreciate it. This app is fabulous. Somehow my bookmarks got duplicated, I was able to very easily weed out the duplicates and delete the empty folders. I had over 3,000 bookmarks somehow (many were duplicates) and I was able to de-duplicate everything in about 10 minutes. I had it run a check to delete broken URL's and easily cleared a bunch of old stuff out. This app is amazing!
