New Feature: Find Dead Links

With this tool you can easily clean up your bookmarks by finding and deleting dead links. A web link is considered to be "dead" if it returns error 404 (page not found) or the link contains a non-existing domain.

To run the cleanup tool please follow the steps below:
  • (1) Open the "My Bookmarks" page
  • (2) Make sure that "All" is selected (both Catalog and Dashboard bookmarks are listed)
  • (3) Click on "Find Dead Links", the "Find Dead Links" dialog will popup


  • (4) Enter a unique tag that will be added to the bookmarks that have dead links (by default the tag is "dead-link")
  • (5) Click on the "Find Dead Links" button to start the process

The process of finding dead links may take from some minutes to a few days depending on how many bookmarks you have.

After you started the process you can close the browser window and can even turn off your computer. Or you can continue using Bookmark Ninja.

You will get an email notification when "Find Dead Links" is complete. The email will contain a brief summary report: number of bookmarks checked, number of dead links found and a link to the bookmarks marked with the "dead-link" tag on the "My Bookmarks" page.

To avoid unnecessary server load you can run this tool once in every 30 days.

Make sure to also use the Find Duplicates tool in order to clean up your bookmarks.

New Feature: Sharing Tabs

From now you can make any of your tabs public and share them with your friends and coworkers. You can even make web directories from your favorite links.
Making a tab public means anyone (even if somebody doesn't have a Bookmark Ninja account) can access the shared tab with a link. The link has a format like this: "bookmarkninja.com/share/123456". The shared tab is read-only.

By default all the Tabs you add are private. To share a Tab follow the steps below:
  • (1) Open the Dashboard.
  • (2) Select the Tab you want to share.
  • (3) Select the "Tabs/Share Tab" menu - the Tab Sharing settings dialog will come up:


  • (4) Check or clear the options to customize the appearance of the shared Tab.
  • (5) Select the corresponding commands to copy the share link to the Clipboard, send it via email or share it on Facebook or Twitter.
  • (6) Click on the "Share Tab" button. Now the Tab is shared and the share icon appears next to the Tab name:

After you shared a Tab you can change the sharing settings and access the share link any time by selecting the "Tabs/Sharing settings" menu. The same dialog will come up when you shared the Tab and you can update the settings. To stop sharing a tab select the "Tabs/Stop sharing Tab" menu:

To access the Tab sharing menus on mobile, first tap on "Turn On Tab and Category Editor" on the bottom of the Dashboard page. Then you can select the "Share Tab", "Sharing settings" and "Stop sharing Tab" menus:

Improvement: Bookmark Favicons on the Dashboard

Many users requested to have the favicons of the bookmarks to be displayed on the Dashboard. The small icons can help to visually find the bookmarks faster. This improvement on the Dashboard is available on both desktop and mobile devices.




If you still want to use the Dashboard without the favicons, you can turn it off on the Settings page, simply uncheck the "Show favicons of bookmarks" checkbox.


It is also recommended to turn off the display of the favicons if you have many bookmarks on a Tab and want to improve the loading speed of the Dashboard.

New Feature: Find Category and Search Bookmarks on the Dashboard


If you have many Categories it can be difficult to find the one you are looking for. The "Find Category" new feature helps you to quickly find the categories:
  1. Start typing the name of the Category in the "Find Category" text field.
  2. As you are typing (after 2 characters) a suggestion list will show up with the Categories whose names start with the characters you typed.
  3. Select the Category you are searching for (either with a mouse click or with pressing Enter).
  4. The Category's Tab will be loaded, the browser window will be scrolled to the Category, and the Category will be marked with a thin red border.




The other feature is rather an improvement. From now you can also start a bookmark search from the Dashboard not just from the My Bookmarks page. Enter any text in the "Search Bookmarks" field then press Enter. The My Bookmarks page will be loaded with the search results. It works the same when you start a search from the My Bookmarks page. It searches in the title, URL, tags and notes of the bookmarks.




The features are available on mobile, too:

Improvement: Finding Tags Quickly On The My Bookmarks Page

If you have a long tag list on the My Bookmarks page then it's not easy to find and select a tag, you have to scroll through the whole list. From now you can find a tag pretty quickly by starting typing the name of the tag in the text box just above the "Available tags" list. Tags will be filtered, only tags starting with the characters you typed will be displayed. This improvement is available on both desktop and mobile.
