Second Bookmark Bar

Duplicates, restore points, and backup

How the extension's safety net works: what creates a restore point automatically, how to roll one back, and exporting everything to a file.

Checked against v3.1.109

The Rollback card listing three restore points: Before bulk delete, Before duplicate cleanup, and Before link cleanup.

Anything that removes or restructures bookmarks in bulk — an import, a duplicate cleanup, a link check deletion — saves a restore point first, so undoing a cleanup that went further than you meant is always one click away.

Find duplicates

Settings → Recovery → Scan results groups bookmarks with the exact same URL and lets you choose which copy to keep.

Roll back

Settings → Recovery → Rollback & history keeps up to 24 restore points, searchable by name, plus a running action history so “why did this bookmark come back” always has an answer.

Back up everything to a file

Settings → Backup & transfer exports your settings, your bookmarks, or both as one file — folder slots, auto-switch rules, excluded sites, categories and tags, and video metadata all travel with it. The same screen imports a file back in.

Good to know: Chrome's own chrome://bookmarks export still works as an extension-independent fallback — the extension's own backup is the one that also carries categories, tags, and video metadata along.

Try it in your own bar

Second Bookmark Bar is free to install, works entirely on your device by default, and takes about a minute to set up.

Add to Chrome — it's free

Link check: find bookmarks whose site no longer answers

Run a link check across every saved bookmark, read the dead-link results honestly, and delete the broken ones safely with a restore point and an undo.

 Organizing

Categories and tags: Folder, Category, Tags

The three ways Second Bookmark Bar lets you organize a bookmark — folders, categories, and tags — and when to reach for each one instead of the others.
