In plain English

X Bookmarks Manager is a free Chrome extension that replaces the default bookmarks view on X (formerly Twitter) with a more usable interface. The standard X bookmarks page shows posts in a simple chronological list with no way to search or filter them. This extension overlays a different layout on top of that page when you visit it. The main view groups your bookmarks into a masonry grid, which arranges cards in columns of varying heights rather than a rigid list. Bookmarks are grouped by month so you can see roughly when you saved them. A search bar lets you filter across all your saved posts, and an Authors tab lets you filter by who posted them. There is also a Load All button that automatically scrolls through and fetches every page of your bookmarks at a configurable delay, which saves you from manually scrolling to load older ones. You can remove a bookmark directly from a card, and you can export everything to a JSON file to keep your own copy of the data. All processing happens inside your browser. No data is sent to any outside server, and the extension includes no analytics or tracking. The README links to a separate privacy document with additional details. Installation requires enabling developer mode in Chrome and loading the extension folder manually, since it is not yet listed in the Chrome Web Store. The steps are described in the README and take about a minute. The project is licensed under MIT.
