bookmarks.html manager

Turn bookmarks.html into an editable start page

Opening bookmarks.html directly shows a long list of links. GoToNav turns it into a folder preview, lets you choose groups, skip duplicates, and reorder links.

HTML files are good backups, not daily tools.

A browser can open bookmarks.html, but it cannot easily choose folders, skip duplicate URLs, or reorder links.

The opened file is too long to scan.
You cannot select folders before import.
Duplicates and empty folders come along for the ride.

Open it with GoToNav

Choose the file

Upload Chrome bookmarks.html or .htm.

Preview the structure

Check folders, bookmark counts, duplicate URLs, and empty folders.

Import and organize

Choose groups, import, then drag and delete stale links.

When it helps

Device migration

Clean up the export before deciding what to keep.

Old bookmark archive

Bring old browser or account bookmarks into one start page.

Temporary cleanup

Use guest mode first, then sign in later when sync is useful.
