How To Delete Duplicate Bookmarks on any Browser

With a cool tool called AM-Dead Link, we’ll show you how to Delete Duplicate Bookmarks on any Browser. There is a good chance that many of the websites you have bookmarked over the years might not work anymore. There could also be a number of duplicate bookmarks that you accidentally put in different folders.

You can store links to sites you visit often in bookmarks, but some sites go offline over time, so you may end up with links that don’t work. If you have a lot of bookmarks, you may have saved sites that you’ve already saved, which would make duplicates. To clean up your list of favorites, you can either check each link and remove any that don’t work or are duplicates, or you can use a browser add-on to do it for you.
