Bookmarks Browser Extension

Browser extension to easily save links from the web to www.bookmarks.dev, the Bookmarks and Code Snippets Manager for Developers & Co.

Install

This browser extension is available for:

Chrome	Firefox

If you can't use Browser Extensions, or you have a tight security blocking pop-up windows from extensions (Firefox blocks new windows from pages by default) you can use our bookmarklets which offer the same functionality

How to use

Right click OR click the extension icon to save the active tab's link to Bookmarks.dev.

Optionally you can select text on the webpage beforehand, to be saved in the "description" field, otherwise the value from meta="description" is used if present on the website

For youtube videos and stackoverflow questions the tags and published on are also auto-completed

Testing locally

Check out the git repository - git clone https://github.com/BookmarksDev/bookmarks-browser-extension.git

Chrome/Brave

Go to chrome://extensions/, click Load unpacked and select the bookmarks.dev-chrome-extension where you have checked it out:

Click "Reload" on the extension when you do modifications

Firefox

Use web-ext

The easiest way is to use web-ext You can install it globally for example via

npm install --global web-ext

and then run the following command in the root directory of the project

web-ext run

This installs "Save link to Bookmarks.dev" as a temporary add-on, and it watches for changes in the source code and redeploys automatically.

Manual deployment

Go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox, click Load Temporary Add-on... and select the manifest.json file from the save-code-to-bookmarks.dev-browser-extension folder where you have checked it out:

Test the extension against the localhost version of Bookmarks.dev

Change the following line in launch-bookmarksdev-dialog:

open('https://www.bookmarks.dev/personal/new?url=' + encodeURIComponent(l) + '&desc=' + encodeURIComponent(d) + '&title=' + encodeURIComponent(t) + '&popup=true', 'Bookmarks.dev', features);

to

open('http://localhost:4200/personal/new?url=' + encodeURIComponent(l) + '&desc=' + encodeURIComponent(d) + '&title=' + encodeURIComponent(t) + '&popup=true', 'Bookmarks.dev', features);

and Reload the extension
