Submitter here. The extension is just for chrome at the moment. I've been using this myself for the last 12 months roughly (when it was 90% complete) and only got around to finishing it off recently.

Main things about it are: it uses a smart search instead of folders/tags and it's built to be used just with key binds. Of course it can be used with the mouse as well.

Where are the bookmarks stored? Is import and export possible?
Bookmarks are stored in a postgres database in the AWS EU West 1 region (Ireland). And yes, import/export is possible. Just go to the settings page in the application.

One thing to note, since devmark doesn't use a folder hierarchy - if you import and then export your bookmarks they won't have original folder setup.

I was asking if they were stored in the browser or in your servers. In fact I wanted to know if they would be synced on multiple computers.

I am currently storing bookmarks in Workflowy with a Chrome Extension that clips the current URL to Workflowy. It is nice, but I might perhaps try your extension for a while.

Yeah, they're synced across multiple computers. The idea is to try and get a Firefox version up and running sooner than later as well. What I want is to have bookmarks cross device and cross browser. Although stretching to an Opera/Edge extension might be a bit too much with just me developing it.

I'm wide open to feedback as well. So if you do end up using it; feel free to let me know what you think of it.

Hi, thanks for bring a good extension for us. However, after i trying, i don't think the extension is user-friendly, and i think it is a little complicate because i don't know how to use it. The users always lazy, they rarely to read such a long extension instructions.
Thanks for the feedback.

What I'll probably do next is implement some form of post-install instructions (short and concise).

And I also need to somehow display the hotkeys since the extension was designed with the idea that the core user base would be made up of keyboard friendly folks.
