More flexible duplicate search

Open rshadow opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

There are links that do not match 100%, but are duplicates:

  • Links with a slash at the end. For example: http://example.com and http://example.com/
  • Http and https links. For example: http://example.com/ and https://example.com/
  • Links with empty hashtag: http://example.com/# and http://example.com/

These are the cases that I found during the deduplication of a collection of bookmarks.

Hi,

thanks for the suggestion. HTTP:// and HTTP:// are not the same, there can be different content. But I will consider the other cases.

I use another extension called Bookmark Dupes because I love their "expert mode" that lets me use regex to find even more dupes (I just passed 10k bookmarks, so that's very useful). Among the stuff I do with it:

  • remove extra strings after #
  • remove extra get parameters like youtube's &feature-youtu.be or other site's &utm_foo=bar and the like
  • strip www. from the hostname and lots more.

No need to compare at the time to search for duplicates, if they are handled at the time to update redirections.

About HTTP/HTTPS, there is a problem with the "HTTPS only" mode when a site is available only with HTTP. (Do you need more details / examples ?)

About empty hashtag, is it possible to handle obsolete hashtags or not ?
