LinkStash

LinkStash is a lightweight software application built specifically for helping you manage your Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Chrome, and Netscape bookmarks from a single interface.

It offers support for a step-by-step approach for helping you specify the folder where the bookmarks are stored, set up hotkeys for adding bookmarks and showing or hiding the main window, choose the preferred web browser for opening your bookmarks with, as well as import existing bookmarks from the selected web browsers.

You are allowed to start the program at Windows startup or when you open the web browser, and integrate the program in the Internet Explorer toolbar for quickly accessing its functions.

One of the best features bundled in this tool enables you to set up a master password for making sure other users cannot have access to your private data, modify program’s settings, or uninstall the utility.

LinkStash offers you the possibility to open the selected bookmark in a new window or tab, open with the preferred web browser, highlight the bookmarks with different colors, rate them, add tags (e.g. Business, Fun, Games, Education, Internet), and sort bookmarks by various criteria, such as name, description, comment, keyword, and URL.

What’s more, you can perform basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste, delete, rename), view bookmark properties, perform search operations and apply filters (name, comment, URL, last visited date, rating), and check for dead links.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to import data from a plain text file, export bookmarks to the selected web browser, backup the current settings to a file, synchronize Internet Explorer Favorites with LinkStash bookmarks, as well as print or save the information.

All things considered, LinkStash offers a handy set of parameters for helping you manage your bookmarks efficiently but it still needs some improvements in the GUI area to make the entire process more intuitive.
