Well, that’s very good news. I blush to say this, but I rather like Edge and use it in preference to other Chromium browsers (a colleague uses Brave, I’ve used and like Vivaldi, Opera used to be brilliant until it was swallowed up by a Chinese developer).

Great. Could you drop us a note when the Firefox add-in is finished?

Excited to hear firefox is on the roadmap. I am going to try and play with it on chrome in the next week or so. I will echo others who have said that it is pretty mature given how long it has been in development.
I appreciated your write up on your process. Bookmarks and browser history often live in a silo, The braintools org file looks like a way to free the information from the silo. It also offers a good workflow to capture and take notes on those links.
I am curious what the limitations might be on notes you can add for each link? Is limited to short notes, or can you add/copy significant text from the page?
Thanks

Thank you for the positive perspective! Thanks also for the writeup of your process, which also sheds light on the BrainTool logic.
So here’s a potential challenge. Like Nomatica, I also use more than one browser. Would it be possible to for more than one browser to use the same BrainTool org file? (Ideally, but not necessarily, concurrently.)

BrainTool looks very promising! Many thanks. The key future for me would be the ability to save all open tabs in all windows (like in Session Buddy, etc). Right now, BrainTool seems to only be able to save tabs in the current window, unless I’m missing something. But it’s an awesome start!
