Deleting the ones in the same folder is as fast as clicking on the link. You will end up with results for URLs that are in the same folder and URLs that are not in the same folder. (Mobile too if you have duplicates in there.)

You will want to run this for both Bookmarks Bar and for Other Bookmarks.

Poof! All those empty folders have disappeared. Poof! All your links are now in one of the folders and the others are empty. You will end up with a list like the image to the right.

The steps of running it are to first run Scan Duplicate Folders.

Make sure all the rest of your Imported bookmarks are in the Other Bookmarks section. Tool Tip /Hint to find top level duplicates I did not take a photo of that but it essentially means putting all your Bookmarks Bar folders from the various imports into the Chrome Bookmarks Bar. Then move folders with the same name into the same parent folders. What I found worked best was to then open Bookmarks/Bookmark Manager in Chrome. So the next steps will be to get all your bookmarks into those parents so the app can find and remove all your duplicates. The way Fast Bookmark Scanner works is that it can scan in three parent folders.

X-Marks: Though I love LastPass for saving passwords, their X-Mark product is buggy as all get out! It slows down your browser horribly.Two that I tried and do NOT recommend are: To keep this post short, I am not going to go into everything I tried to manage bookmarks over the years. When you try to collate or organize them via exporting and importing (even when using third party apps) you end up with duplicates: duplicate links, duplicate folders, duplicates of duplicates, etc. So in short, I have ended up with Bookmarks in many different browsers. Then when I am at work I often have to use Microsoft Edge. Currently Safari is seriously hanging and recently it deleted my History (Sigh!). I know I am not alone in having duplicate bookmark issues! Many of us who heavily use search frequently have to switch default browsers between Google Chrome, Safari, and Firefox because one or the other develops issues. (Disclosure: I make no money from this post.There is no additional purpose or benefit other than sincere appreciation and sharing info on a great app!)
