Description

Bookmarks Star for Safari
Bookmarks Star for Safari is a privacy-focused Safari extension that adds a color-configurable star icon to the Safari browser toolbar. This star icon will automatically change its color when you open a webpage, visually indicating the current page's bookmark status in real-time (colored for bookmarked, gray for unbookmarked).

Additionally, clicking the icon displays the folder path(s) where the bookmark is located.

**Bookmarks Star extends the functionality of the Safari browser: See if you've already bookmarked the webpage you're visiting and view precisely which folder it's in**

----------------------------------------------------

Bookmarks Star is a lightweight Safari extension that:

- Automatically shows if a webpage is in your Safari bookmarks or not in real-time with a color-configurable star icon.
- Shows the current webpage's bookmark folder location when you click on the star icon.
- Creates a report of all your duplicate bookmarks on demand.
- Synchronizes bookmark status from various devices through iCloud in real-time.

Bookmarks Star is privacy-focused: It doesn't use an alternative bookmarks file or store your bookmarks elsewhere, either locally or in the cloud. It only reads your existing Safari Bookmarks file to provide information.

Features:
- Lightweight and optimized: The extension will perform checks only on the active & in-focus tab, so the number of tabs/windows open will not affect the performance.

- Privacy-first approach: Bookmarks Star extension only needs to know the URL of the webpage you're visiting. It NEVER reads/views/edits any content on the page. The extension works entirely locally on your Mac. Your bookmarks, browsing history, webpage content or any data are NEVER sent to external servers. Everything stays securely on your computer.

FAQ:
1. What is the performance impact of using this extension?
Getting the bookmark status of the active tab takes around 5-15 milliseconds, getting the folder paths (on demand) takes around 20-40 milliseconds. Number of open tabs does not affect the performance as it only performs a URL check for the active & in-focus tab.

2. How intrusive is this extension? Does it read visited website's data/content or track my activities?
The extension only reads the URL of the active tab to see if it is in your Safari bookmarks or not. It does not read/edit/track/store any other page data or the page content at any time.

3. Do you use any third party services like analytics or tracking?
No. Privacy is important to me. The extension does not use any third party services like analytics or tracking. No data is sent/received to/from anywhere outside your computer by the extension. The extension and its container app are self-contained.

4. Is bookmark status synchronized across devices?
Yes, the bookmark status is synchronized across devices in real-time via iCloud. E.g. when you add a page to your Safari bookmarks on your iPhone/iPad, iCloud will auto-update your Safari bookmarks file in your Mac. When iCloud sync happens, Bookmarks Star extension will pick up this file change and the icon color in your browser will be updated instantly (if it is the currently active browser tab on your Mac).

5. Does this extension edit any files on my Mac, including the Safari bookmarks file?
No, this extension only READS the Safari bookmarks file and nothing else. It does not edit any files or view/change any other files on your Mac.

------------------------------------
Since I like using Safari and I rely on Safari bookmarks, this was a project initially I did for my own use. Abstracting the complex webpage processes from the user and updating the star icon color reliably and efficiently was my main goal. I hope you'll like the extension!
