About Holy Private Bookmarks — Encrypted Local Bookmark Manager

Holy Private Bookmarks is a bookmark manager with AES-256-GCM encryption and master password protection. All your bookmarks are stored locally on your device — the extension never connects to external servers, never collects analytics, and has no subscription fees. Why use it instead of Chrome's built-in bookmarks? Chrome's default bookmarks are synced to Google's servers and visible to anyone who opens your browser. Holy Private Bookmarks keeps a completely separate, encrypted vault — locked behind a master password that only you know. If you forget the password, there is no recovery option, and that's intentional. FEATURES: • Saves bookmarks in an encrypted vault — accessible only after entering your master password • Organizes bookmarks into folders with full drag-and-drop support • Auto-locks after 10 minutes of inactivity • Adds the current page with one click from the popup, or via right-click context menu • Imports bookmarks from Chrome (all at once or folder by folder) and from HTML files • Exports to encrypted backup or standard HTML (Netscape format) • Fullscreen Bookmark Manager for bulk operations — move, rename, delete, search • Quick Close Tab (Alt+A / Cmd+Shift+A on Mac) — closes the current tab and clears all browser history for that domain • Additional keyboard shortcuts: lock the extension (Alt+L), open the manager (Alt+M), blur the current page (Alt+B) — all remappable • Dark, light, and system themes PRIVACY: The extension uses the "history", "bookmarks", "tabs", and "scripting" permissions. "history" is used only when you manually trigger "Clear History" — it never reads or logs your browsing history in the background. "bookmarks" is used only for the Chrome import feature. "tabs" is used for closing tabs (Alt+A), opening the manager, and saving open tabs — the tab list is never stored. "scripting" is used exclusively for the Blur Page feature (Alt+B) — the script is injected only on your request. There is no password reset. Your bookmarks are encrypted exclusively with the password you set during setup. Save it somewhere safe. Open source (GPLv3): https://github.com/OSV-IT-Studio/holy-private-bookmarks
