BoD's Bookmark Tool

This small browser extension allows you to synchronize bookmark folders with a remote document.

Ideal to share a bunch of bookmarks with your team at work, or your loved ones!

Setup

Chrome: Chrome Web Store.
Firefox: Firefox Add-ons (*).

Supported remote document formats

The remote document can either be RSS, Atom, OPML, HTML, or a 'bookmarks' JSON format.

RSS / Atom

The item elements will be extracted from the feed, and the title and link elements / href attributes will be used to create the bookmarks.

OPML

The outline elements will be extracted from the OPML document, and the text or title attributes will be used for the bookmark's name. The url, htmlUrl, or xmlUrl attributes will be used for the bookmark's URL.

Subfolders are supported by nesting outline elements.

HTML

All A elements of the document will be extracted, unless an XPath expression is provided in the URL. To do so, append #__xpath=<expression> to the URL, for instance https://example.com/bookmarks.html#__xpath=//div[@id='bookmarks']. The XPath can either refer to a list of A elements, or a single container under which all A elements will be extracted.

"bookmarks" JSON

The "bookmarks" JSON format looks like this:

{
  "version": 1,
  "bookmarks": [
    {
      "title": "Bookmark 1",
      "url": "https://JRAF.org"
    },
    {
      "title": "Folder 1",
      "bookmarks": [
        {
          "title": "Bookmark 1 in folder 1",
          "url": "https://google.com"
        },
        {
          "title": "Bookmark 2 in folder 1",
          "url": "https://microsoft.com"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

* About the Firefox version

As of now, the version for Firefox is no longer updated, as since Manifest v3, it is too hard to make a single extension that works on both Chrome and Firefox. The Firefox version is still available on the Firefox Add-ons site, but it is stuck at version 1.4.0.
