Duplicate bookmark finder
Sync a browser across three machines for a few years and you end up with the same page saved four times, in four folders. This finds every copy and gives you a file with one of each.

Exact duplicates
Same URL once you ignore http/https, www., a trailing slash, #fragments and tracking parameters like utm_source.

Same title, different URL
Often the same article saved from a mobile URL, an AMP page or after a site redesign. These are never removed automatically — decide for yourself.

What counts as a duplicate
Two bookmarks are treated as the same page when their URLs match after normalising:
http://andhttps://are treated as equal- a leading
www.is dropped, and the domain is lowercased - a trailing slash is dropped
#fragmentsare dropped- tracking parameters are dropped —
utm_*,fbclid,gclid,mc_cid,igshid,msclkidand friends - remaining query parameters are sorted, so
?a=1&b=2matches?b=2&a=1
Paths stay case-sensitive, because on a lot of servers they genuinely are.
The de-duplicated file keeps one copy of each page, in the folder that copy came from, and preserves your folder structure. Import it into a clean profile — or delete your existing bookmarks first — otherwise you'll simply add a second set alongside the old one.
