Markster
2.10Store bookmarks centrally instead of syncing.
Overview
Markster keeps your internet bookmarks in a central store. People use Markster because either:
- The internal bookmarks facilities (Bookmarks Bar, Bookmarks Menu, Favorites Bar, etc.) in their web browser(s) do not meet their feature expectations.
- They use more than one web browser, and prefer to keep all their bookmarks in a separate app, independent of the web browsers, instead of syncing the browsers' internal bookmarks facilities together.
When Markster users want to visit a bookmark they have previously stored, or add a new bookmark, instead of reaching for the Bookmarks Bar or Bookmarks Menu in the browser, they bring up Markster's Floating Menu. Markster provides three ways to do that:
- Global Keyboard Shortcut, for example Cmd-Shift-D.
- Dock Menu
- Status Menulet (right side of Menu Bar)
The keyboard shortcut and/or status menulet are enable/disabled in Markster's preferences.
What's new in Markster
Version 2.10:
- Now supports import, export and syncing with the Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Edge Dev web browsers. (Note: We have not put our extensions into the Microsoft store because Edge graciously allows installing extensions from the Chrome Web Store, the process is quite seamless, and so less is more. To install one of our extensions into Edge, just OK installing extensions from the Chrome Web Store when prompted.)
- Imports and exports with Brave Browser now work with Brave version 1.2. and later, in which Brave has eliminated the Other Bookmarks hard folder. (Last week’s update to Brave 1.2 converted your Other Bookmarks hard folder into a Other Booknmarks soft folder. Unfortunately, the Brave team did not explain this to users. This fix also requires that your browser profiles are updated to version 44 of our BookMacster Sync extension, which was published in the Chrome Web Store and Mozilla (Firefox) Add-Ons on January 16. By default, Google Chrome, Firefox, Vivaldi, Brave and Opera check for updates every day, so you probably have been updated already, unless you have Opera. Unfortunately, instead of scraping the Chrome Web Store as Vivaldi and Brave do, Opera maintains their own store and requires human review of all extension updates. At this time, our version 44 is still awaiting review by Opera.)
- Changed some code which could maybe have caused spurious occurrences of Error 257938. Not sure, but the changed code makes more sense.
- Fixed two bugs which could occur after user clicks "View" button to view a new error from Agent:
- Bug which could cause the previous error (or no error, if no previous) to be displayed instead of the latest error.
- Bug which could cause spurious appearance of Error 257938 from Agent.
- Fixed a bug which may have caused syncing irregularities or churn in some cases. (We did not investigate the effects but definitely fixed a possible cause which was discovered accidentally.)
- When running in Dark Mode, in the document window, in order to guarantee sufficient contrast with the white characters, the background color behind the folder names is now forced to be as dark as possblle (saturation is forced to 1.0) regardless of the user’s setting in Preferences Appearance.)
- Error 478204 should always have an underlying error now. (Requires BSManagedDocument commit 329683b.)

The Central Store concept of apps like Markster is nice if you only use bookmarks on your Mac, because syncing involves some "moving parts". However, if you also want to see the same bookmarks in the web browsers on your iOS or Android devices, or computers running MS Windows or Linux, you will need to sync with services such as iCloud, Firefox Sync, or a Google account. In that case, a syncing app such as Smarky or Synkmark can bridge between these services, and is what you need.
