BoD's Bookmark Tool, a browser extension

BoD's Bookmark Tool

This very small and simple extension for Chrome and Firefox allows you to synchronize any bookmark folder with a remote file.

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.

Remote file format

The remote file can either be RSS, Atom, or a proprietary "bookmarks" JSON format.

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"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
