Duplicate bookmark cleanup

Find duplicate URLs before importing

Duplicate bookmarks often live in different folders. GoToNav parses bookmarks.html and shows duplicates before import.

Duplicate bookmarks are about matching URLs, not matching titles.

The same page can be saved under different names. Checking by URL catches duplicates before they enter your start page.

The same URL appears in several folders.
Different titles hide duplicate saves.
Duplicates make the new start page messy from day one.

Deduplication flow

Upload HTML

GoToNav parses each bookmark URL in the browser.

Only the first occurrence is imported by default.

Deduplication boundaries

URL-based

Different titles with the same URL are still treated as duplicates.

No Chrome edits

GoToNav does not delete original Chrome bookmarks.

Optional behavior

You can turn off duplicate skipping when you really need repeated links.
