Zren/RecentBookmarksPopup

Firefox addon + Chrome extension to display recent bookmarks in toolbar icon popup.

Recent Bookmarks

This is a very simple extension that lists the most recent bookmarks.

• Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/recent-bookmarks-popup/pdgbmlhjjgaenhbmahiafcelnbbbopla
• Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/recent-bookmarks-popup/

• Shows a tag with the parent folder name.
• Can easily delete multiple recent bookmarks.
• Can quickly move a bookmark to an "Archive" folder (name is case sensitive).
• In the options page, you can toggle grouping bookmarks by date, or hide the bottom toolbar.

Permissions

• Chrome: Favicons are displayed using the favicon cache.
• Firefox: Since firefox doesn't expose the favicon cache, the extension needs to do it manually. By using the tabs permission, it can store the favicons when you visit a site. Until you have visited a bookmark, a color will be generated for the website based on the hostname.

Screenshots

Older screenshot, but demonstrates Archive folder.

Develop / Build

Run sh ./build.sh to generate a firefox.xpi and a chrome.crx.

You can easily load the src/ as an unpacked addon in Firefox and Chrome with a few warnings.

To properly test Firefox or Chrome without warnings, you will need to modify the manifest.json before loading it as an unpacked extension. First run python3 preparebuild_chrome.py to modify the manifest.json.

Run git checkout src/manifest.json to reset the file before commiting changes with it.
