Bom. Simples de usar, eficiente ao que se propõe. Sugestão: salvamento dos links na nuvem, ou no computador. Se eu formatar o PC os links desaparecerão ou ficarão no navegador que tem a extensão?

The plugin works great. I'd love it even more if it could export lists (for syncing)

Una delle migliori e complete provate finora, il contatore è presente e funziona bene, presente la funzione "seleziona tutto", "rimuovi tutto" ed è possibile aprire in blocco tutti i links (opzione assente a molte estensioni di questo genere), inoltre, è presente una barra di ricerca e rileva i link duplicati. L'estensione permette di modificare il titolo di ogni link e sono presenti opzioni per personalizzare le impostazioni. Difetti: l'assenza di un collegamento nel menù contestuale del click destro per l'aggiunta rapida dei link e 1 errore. Errore: ho selezionato nelle opzioni "elimina links quando aperti", ho salvato 203 links, li ho aperti, ma 83 links sono rimasti. One of the best and complete ones I've tried so far, the counter is present and works well, the "select all" and "remove all" functions are present and it is possible to open all the links in bulk (an option absent from many extensions of this kind), furthermore, there is a search bar and it detects duplicate links. The extension allows you to change the title of each link and there are options to customize the settings. Flaws: the absence of a link in the right click context menu for quickly adding links and 1 error. Error: I selected "delete links when opened" in the options, I saved 203 links, I opened them, but 83 links remained.
