One fast search across your bookmarks, saved browser windows and open tabs.
Popup
From the extension popup, save the page you're on, or stash your open tabs into Workspace as a session. Stashing closes open tabs, so the browser gets quiet again.
Library
Save links into collections you curate, nested however you like. They still appear in the same search as open tabs and sessions.
Library is for what you keep.Workspace is for what you're holding now.
Workspace
A stashed window becomes a Workspace session. Every tab is still listed by title. Open a single tab, restore the whole session or promote what's worth keeping to Library.
Restoring rebuilds the window as you left it: tab order, pinned tabs, and tab groups, where Chrome allows it.

Findability
Type the fragment you have — a tag, a note, a domain, the collection it lives in.
One fast keyword search spans your bookmarks, saved sessions, and open tabs. It runs
on your device, and nothing is sent to a server.
For saved links it reads tags, notes, and descriptions, not just titles. You can filter
and sort your search results.
Type more when you know more — tag:research, site:wikipedia.org,
-archive, "exact phrase".
Ownership
Before you trust it, check what it asks for: every Chrome permission and what it enables.
Chrome bookmark sync stays off until you turn it on.
Nothing is locked in. Your Library exports to a standard bookmarks file any browser can import.
Network boundary
No extension telemetry
The extension sends nothing. No analytics, no telemetry, ever.
Save, search, and restore do not contact an EnsoLinks server.
Import / Export
Import from Chrome, Toby, OneTab, browser HTML, or an EnsoLinks JSON backup, with a preview before anything changes. Export Library bookmarks as browser-compatible HTML or a JSON backup.

Questions
Permissions, price, privacy, and what happens to your links if EnsoLinks goes away.
They’re all listed above with the reason for each. tabs and
activeTab mean titles and URLs during actions you take, not
background monitoring. Browsing history is optional. It’s
never requested at install, only when you switch History search on, and
those results are read live rather than stored.
No. There is no EnsoLinks account and no EnsoLinks server. You just install it and start using it.
Yes. The Library, search, Workspace sessions, import, and bookmark export are free forever. There’s no cap on how many bookmarks you can save. No account, no subscription, no trial that runs out.
Yes. EnsoLinks is built for Chrome, and it also runs in other Chromium-based browsers. It has been tested in Edge and Brave.
By default, your EnsoLinks data stays in your Chrome browser. Chrome bookmark sync is off until you enable it in EnsoLinks settings. Once enabled, supported bookmark fields can sync through Chrome’s own service; they never pass through an EnsoLinks server.
The EnsoLinks extension sends nothing - no analytics or telemetry, ever.
This website is separate. It uses self-hosted, cookieless analytics to count page views and clicks on the main action button. It uses no tracking cookies or third-party trackers, and collects nothing that identifies you or follows you elsewhere.
Yes. Saving, searching, and restoring all run in your browser.
Nothing switches off. There’s no server to shut down, so the extension keeps working. You can still access your bookmarks, and they aren’t locked into an EnsoLinks-only format.
No. It works alongside them. Turn on Chrome sync in EnsoLinks, then Chrome can sync supported bookmark URLs, titles, and folders through your Google account. Tags, notes, and saved sessions stay in EnsoLinks. Chrome has nowhere to put them.
Library is what you keep. Workspace is what you’re working with — open tabs and stashed sessions. The split exists so that saving something for later doesn’t mean filing it forever. You can stash a whole window in one go, then promote only the links worth keeping to a Library collection.
Tabs close after you stash them. Restoring a session opens new Chrome windows with the original tab order, pinned tabs, and—where Chrome permits—tab groups. Sessions expire after 30 days by default, but you can change the expiry period in Settings.
Yes. Scope a search with tag:, site:, folder:, title:, url: or notes:. A leading minus drops a term, so -archive excludes it. Quote a phrase to match it exactly, put or between terms for either/or, and narrow by date with before: and after:. There’s also has:notes and is:untagged. None of it is a paid
feature.
Yes. Chrome bookmarks, Toby, OneTab, a standard bookmarks HTML file, or an EnsoLinks JSON backup. EnsoLinks previews the import in your browser before anything changes.
Yes. Export your Library as a standard browser bookmarks file that Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge can import, or as an EnsoLinks JSON backup. Saved sessions and window state aren’t included in either.
EnsoLinks is built and operated by Enso Web Dev Solutions. A paid version for advanced workflows is planned. That’s where the money comes from, not from your data. The extension does not send your bookmarks, sessions, or settings to Enso Web Dev Solutions.
One email when EnsoLinks launches. Nothing else — no newsletter, no other announcements. Your address goes to Resend, the email provider, and is used for nothing but that one message.
