I plan to develop my own bookmark manager so that I can search through page text and browse my bookmarks by thumbnails or view the full screen shots.
Since Chrome browser doesn't support COM, What will be the best solution to develop my own bookmark manager?

Re: Bookmark manager for Chrome browser
Rather than working through the Chrome interface, manipulate the bookmarks file directly. It is in your user directory under "AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default". The file is named "bookmarks", and you should not have Chrome open when you modify it. You should keep a copy of the original in case you mess it up.

I need to save the content of the pages and take screenshots. Even though AHK can solve the auto-login problem, it's not user friendly.

Hey DanielToward13. Out of curiosity, did you happen to make any progress on this? If not, was there a specific roadblock you couldn't overcome?

Chrome doesn't use SQLite for its bookmarks. They are stored in JSON format.Hildagard K wrote:doubt he made progress given ahk and sqllite dont really go together well
