13.1 JSON Bookmark Management

20250120

You can manage bookmarks in a text editor with your own bookmarks.json file. This can initially be obtained by extracting as JSON bookmarks from Firefox and Brave, unifying them, de-duplicating and then moving that into bookmarks.json. The github repository provides the scrips from Claude AI, reviewed and modified, to do this.

unify_bookmarks.py

Read and save as JSON firefox and brave bookmarks, then unify them into bookmarks_unified.json while also saving bookmarks_brave.json and bookmarks_firefox.json

dedupe_bookmarks.py

Remove duplicates from bookmarks_unified.json saving to bookmarks_unified_deduped.json

manage bookmarks

Copy bookmarks_unified_deduped.json to bookmarks.json and cleanup manually and retain this as the master bookmarks file.

clear_firefox.py

Removes all bookmarks from Firefox.

update_bookmarks.py

Replaces current bookmarks in Brave and Firefox with those from bookmarks.json
