Update site bookmarks to your current page automatically. Great for webcomics, wikis, blogs, and YouTube!
ABU (Automatic Bookmark Updater) Extension
Never manually update your bookmarks again. Create ABUkmarks that automatically update as you read webcomics, wikis, or blogs, and even watch YouTube!
Here's how it works:
Say you create an ABUkmark on Page 1 of your favorite webcomic. When you continue to Page 2, your ABUkmark automatically becomes a bookmark to Page 2; go to Page 3, your ABUkmark updates to become a bookmark to Page 3; and so on.
Later when you open up the ABUkmarks folder and click on your new ABUkmark (maybe after moving it out onto the Bookmarks bar) you'll continue reading from Page 3, right where you left off!
(This also works for YouTube playlists, or even saving your spot inside of individual videos)
If you don't want to add to your giant list of bookmarks, you can convert existing bookmarks to ABUkmarks instead of creating new ones!
You can even have multiple ABUkmarks for different sections of the same website. You can follow all of your favorite websites' webcomics and blogs!

-----------------------
Potential Fixes (If people care- if you do, email me!)
1. Support for YouTube mini player
2. Support for YouTube videos playing in background
3. Don't update YouTube time in querystring- this was an easy solution, but it means when you share videos you'll be sharing them from your current spot.
Feel free to ask for support via GitHub, email, or PM on Twitter!
