If bookmarks disappeared after a deletion or sync, or if duplicates suddenly filled your folders, pause syncing and editing on your other devices first. Do not run another sync or delete a large batch. The safe order is to save the current state with Save version, find the last good backup in Version history, and restore it with Restore this version. For duplicates, group exact URL matches and review them instead of deleting by title alone.

This guide is for Bookmark UniSync users who sync Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or macOS Safari and need to recover deleted bookmarks, roll back a bad sync, or clean up duplicate bookmarks.

The bookmark navigation page has been live for a while now. But lately one question keeps coming up:

"So what's the address of your navigation page again? I can't remember it."

It sounds like a joke, but it is a genuine problem. Tool domains are usually assembled from a product name and a vendor suffix. Opening it once in a while is fine. But if you open it every day, or you need to send it to a colleague, a family member, or a client, that address becomes a burden.

So we built custom domains: send us your domain or subdomain, add one DNS record, and you can reach your own bookmarks at something like bookmarks.yourname.com. If you already own a domain, the whole thing takes a minute or two.

You may use Chrome at home, Edge at work, and still have old bookmark HTML exports from previous computers. The stressful part is not whether those files can be imported. It is wondering whether an import will mess up the bookmark bar you already rely on, create hundreds of duplicates, or bury an important work link where you cannot find it later.

If you want reliable bookmark sync, especially cross-browser bookmark sync between Chrome and Edge, the first step should not feel like a gamble. It should give you one clean baseline that you can understand, review, and roll back from.

Bookmark UniSync now includes a local bookmark merge tool to make that first step feel safer. You add at least two browser-exported HTML files, review what will be kept and what will be removed, and only then decide whether to apply the result to the current browser or sync it to other browsers. The real value is not another button in the extension. It is being able to clean up years of scattered bookmarks without feeling like you are about to lose something.

When the same URL appears in Work, Study, and Read Later, your bookmark bar becomes hard to use. Good duplicate bookmark cleanup is not about deleting every similar title. It is about matching exact URLs first, then letting you decide which copy to keep.

This Bookmark UniSync update adds one-click bookmark deduplication. It scans bookmarks, groups exact URL matches, shows each folder path, and creates a local backup before anything is deleted. This guide explains why duplicates appear, how to remove them safely, and how to avoid creating more duplicates across browsers.

A lot of you told us the interface felt crowded, and it was hard to find what you were looking for.

We felt the same way. The more we used it, the more awkward it got.

So this update does two things: clean up the interface, and give your bookmarks a local safety net.

The other day, someone in the group chat said something that stopped me cold:

"You have a bookmark navigation page? I had no idea."

Honestly, this kind of feedback is both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

Heartwarming because it means people would actually use it if they knew about it. Heartbreaking because — it's been there for a long time, and somehow people still don't know about it.

So today I'm writing this to make sure everyone knows what's available.

Honestly, building a tool is a pretty interesting thing.

You spend a lot of time polishing features, thinking "users are definitely going to need this," only to have someone install it, take a quick look, and leave. You ask why, and they say: "I'm not sure yet if I want to use it. I just want to try it first."

"Just want to try it" — I used to not take those two words seriously.

Until a user told me: "I know auto-sync is useful, but can you let me experience it first? If it's good, I'll pay."

That's when it hit me — we've been saying "auto-sync is powerful" all along, but we never actually let people use it hands-on.

So with this update, we made a decision: Auto-sync, free for 7 days.
