  Sidebar Bookmarks is a browser sidebar productivity extension that brings bookmarks, history, tabs, private collections, search, and sync into one workspace, helping you find content faster and reduce repeated searching and switching.
  
  ✅ You can view recent visits, most visited pages, recently added items, and recently closed tabs directly in the sidebar. You can also pin frequently used sites for faster access.
  
  ✅ The extension also includes a separate private bookmarks space, so private collections can stay separate from regular browser bookmarks. It supports password unlock, import and export, local restore, and encrypted sync.
  
  ✅ Page search is another practical part of the workflow. You can search bookmarks, history, and open tabs directly, or launch web searches with search engine shortcuts. Selected text can be searched instantly, and when you are on a search results page, you can switch to another search engine with one click. Bookmark search also supports pinyin and initials matching.
  
  ✅ To keep your bookmark library useful over time, the extension also includes bookmark analysis, broken link scanning, duplicate cleanup, recycle bin restore, site data cleanup, vertical tabs, and tab snapshots. 
  
  ✅ For multi-device use, it also supports encrypted sharing, WebDAV backup and restore, cross-browser bookmark sync, and cross-browser private bookmark sync.
  
  ✅ If you want to reduce manual organization work, the extension also includes Smart Bookmarks. You can connect an OpenAI-compatible model service to generate tags, recommend folders for bookmark drafts, and use local rules to automate parts of the organization workflow.
  
  🎯 It is a good fit for people with many bookmarks, many tabs, frequent research workflows, separate work and personal collections, or a need to continue the same browsing workflow across multiple devices.
