Random Bookmark Extension

Have you ever told yourself \"I'm saving this for later\", bookmarked a website and forgot about it?

Do you have lots of bookmarks that just accumulate and that you don't even know you have?

Random Bookmark opens a random bookmark every time you open a new tab.
It is pretty customizable, too.

Also coming with a blocklist feature:

Tired of procrastinating instead of working on your stuff?
You keep wasting your time by going from one stupid site to another?

The blocklist redirects blocked sites to a random bookmark instead, so you actually read something interesting while procrastinating.

You can choose to use the \"Block address bar option\" to only block addresses that are typed. This is namely useful if you have a bookmark that is blocklisted (for example, you might want to block reddit.com but keep one certain reddit thread available.

Lisa Lavandula (ID: 000000a5287dcd3b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/06/2023 This extension allows me to rediscover previously forgotten bookmarks and is a lot of fun. :)

Reweb Design (REweb SEO) (ID: 0000009bac7a0667) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/05/2023 It doesn't appear to function correctly as an Opera extension. I suspect it has something to do w/ new-tab replacement, as I don't think Opera (or Vivalidi) allow extensions to do that. E.g. i continue to use the Start.me extension as a "new tab" extension, even though it doesn't work on Opera/ Vivaldi because I can simply access it as a bookmark, or set it as my home page. This extension does not seem to provide such an option, though I suspect it would probably function if i knew how to tell it to execute.

King (ID: 0000001880f4e46e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/18/2023 Please make it compatible to other browsers. Specifically brave browser. It shows a chrome html when not used. Thanks

Álvaro Ibáñez (Alvy) (ID: 000000977815585e) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/02/2022 I love the idea of jumping to random bookmarks, but I would really prefer and option to choose between "clicking the icon opens a new tab with a random page" and "new tab opens a random page". ¿Could it be done? I'm sure lots of people would love it. (The old Bookmark Shuffle extension used that idea but it no longer exists) Taking over the new tab function is too much for me.

MrGhostMark (ID: 00000023673ac643) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/12/2021 Good UI. Acts quickly. I do not like it taking over the function of a new tab. But that is how it is.
