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.

Preparing for the upcoming Chrome extensions

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 have to be rewritten to comply with the new API. Today's update includes necessary modifications to the Bookmark Ninja code to accommodate these changes in the extensions. The new extensions are also coming soon. Stay tuned for updates!

Bookmark Ninja extensions for Microsoft Edge

Extensions in the Chrome web store now can be installed in the new Edge Chromium. If you want to use the Bookmark Ninja extensions in Edge, please update to the latest version of Edge and install the Chrome extensions.

To install the Chrome extensions in Edge:

1. Select "Tools/Install Browser Buttons" in the main menu of Bookmark Ninja.
2. Click on the "Install the..." links next to the Chrome icon.
3. During the installation make sure to select "Allow extensions from other stores" in the banner at the top of the page.

Firefox extensions moved to the Firefox add-ons store

Until now Firefox extensions have been hosted on the Bookmark Ninja server. Today the extensions were moved to the Firefox add-ons store. If you install the extensions from there, the extensions will be automatically updated in your browser if new versions of the extensions are available.

It is recommended to remove your current Bookmark Ninja extensions in Firefox and install the ones from the Firefox add-ons store. To install the extensions select "Tools/Install Browser Buttons" in the main menu of Bookmark Ninja, then click on the links next to the Firefox icon. The links will lead you to the extensions in the Firefox add-ons store.
