Bookmark Sentry adds a function to the Google Chrome web browser that many of its users have requested for some time now: The ability to check bookmarks in the browser. Google Chrome, like any other browser, comes with options to store and synchronize bookmarks but not to verify them to remove those that are pointing to websites that are no longer existing.
The Bookmark Sentry extension adds the option to scan the bookmarks in the Chrome web browser either automatically or manually. The default scan interval has been set to 30 days which means that the extension will automatically check the bookmarks stored in the Internet browser every 30 days.
This scan interval can be configured in the extension’s options. Manual scans can be performed in the extension’s options as well. The extension will check every bookmark and display a progress bar and the number of problematic bookmarks,
The scan takes some time depending on the amount of bookmarks stored in the Chrome browser and the Internet connection speed of the computer system.
A new screen with statistics is displayed once the scan of all bookmarks finishes. It displays all bookmarks with errors and separates them into not found and connection errors categories.
The bookmarks are listed with their title and url. A click on a bookmark opens that page in the web browser for a manual check. The X at the end of each row can be used to delete the bookmark from the bookmark database.
Bookmark Sentry is a useful extension for the Google Chrome web browser that can regularly and automatically verify bookmarks.
Update: The developer has pulled the extension from the official Chrome Web Store. There is no extension alternative available. Chrome users looking for an alternative beyond, can download and run the AM-Deadlink software, a bookmarks checker for the Windows operating system that is supporting the browser.
