How to Organize Your Bookmarks - Useful Tips

In Bookmark Ninja, you can store your bookmarks either on the Dashboard or in the Catalog.

Dashboard:

• The Dashboard consists of Tabs, which are collections of Categories organized in columns. Bookmarks are stored in Category boxes.
• It is recommended to use the Dashboard for your most frequently used bookmarks and limit each Tab to a maximum of 50-150 bookmarks. This makes it easier to quickly find bookmarks visually.
• It’s better to have fewer bookmarks per Tab and more Tabs overall. If you have many Tabs, you can use the Dynamic Tabs Bar feature.
• The Dashboard can be considered an advanced Favorites collection.

Catalog:

• The Catalog is for storing less frequently used bookmarks. It is a simple list of bookmarks accessible on the My Bookmarks page, similar to placing items in a large box and searching for them later when you need something.
• It is recommended to use tags so you can find bookmarks more easily. When you run a search, both the titles of the bookmarks and the tags are searched. Additionally, you can use the Tag Quickfinder to filter bookmarks by their tags.

Organizing Tips:

• When organizing your bookmarks, you can move them from the Dashboard to the Catalog and automatically add the Tab and Category names as tags using the Auto Tagging feature.
• Bookmarks can also be moved from the Catalog to the Dashboard on the My Bookmarks page.

New browser extensions for Chrome

Google has introduced a new Application Programming Interface (API) for the Chrome extensions. Starting from June 2024, only extensions that support the new API will remain functional. The code for the "Add to Ninja" and "Bookmark All Tabs" Chrome extensions has been completely rewritten to comply with the new API. The updated extensions are now available in the Chrome Web Store.

By default installed extensions are automatically updated in Chrome. The new version number for both the "Add to Ninja" and "Bookmark All Tabs" extensions is 3.0.0.0. To verify the version number, right-click on the extension icon on the Chrome toolbar and select "Manage extensions". If you still see the old version number (starting with 1.0.0 or 2.0.0), please manually update the extensions. If you see the version number 3.0.0.0 then no action is required.

The "Add to Ninja" bookmarklet remains unaffected. If you are using it, no action is required.

Today's update includes an important bug fix

Today's update includes the fix for the "Add to Ninja bookmarklet doesn't work in Safari on iOS" issue.

The issue has to do with how the new version of mobile Safari saves the JavaScript code. This new behaviour breaks the JavaScript code of the "Add to Ninja" bookmarklet. This impacts only the users who recently installed the bookmarklet in Safari on iOS. Users who installed it earlier still can use it without any problem.

The JavaScript code of the "Add to Ninja" bookmarklet has been modified so that the way the new Safari saves the code will not make it unusable.

If your "Add to Ninja" bookmarklet doesn't work in Safari on iOS, please delete it and reinstall it following the steps described here: How to install the bookmarklet in your mobile browser?
