As a demonstration, my browser has several bookmarks:

This is what it looks like after importing:

# 2. Add

There are two ways to add bookmarks.

The first is to open the website you want to save and click the Add button at the bottom.

Now I am going to add the stackoverflow website to my bookmarks, first open https://stackoverflow.com/, click Add button, A selection box will pop up here, you can modify the saved name and link, click the Confirm button, simple.

The second method is to right-click on the opened web page and click the "Save to NavKeeper" button.

# 3. Update, Delete, Drag

When the mouse is placed on the bookmark, the edit button and delete button will appear. Note that the delete button will not ask you whether to delete it.

# 4. Star

There are always a few of your most frequently used bookmarks that you need to see directly. This is a practical function. Click the star button after the bookmark and the bookmark will be added to the favorites list.

# 5. Snapshot

This is a surprising feature. When you are reading a website and are worried that the website will not be accessible later, you can click the snapshot button to save a snapshot of the web page. The snapshot buttons are on both sides of the bottom. Yes, both buttons have snapshot functions.

The button on the left is to save in image format, and the button on the right is to save in document mode.

The usage is similar to adding. Open the website you want to save and click the snapshot button (saving the image requires automatically scrolling the browser). It takes a little longer than simply adding a bookmark. The subsequent operations are the same as adding bookmarks. After adding successfully, add a snapshot button after the bookmark.

# 6. Save to folder

In the pop-up box for adding bookmarks, there is an "AddFolder" button through which you can create a directory. When adding a bookmark, select the directory to add the bookmark to the corresponding directory.

# Use tips.

  • Shhortcut key "Ctrl + Shift + F".
  • After opening the extension, it will automatically focus on the search box.
  • After the search is completed, use the up and down keys to select and the "Enter" key to quickly open the bookmark.
