About this extension

A small and simple extension to avoid the creation of duplicate bookmarks. If a bookmark is created, it will check for others with the same* url created earlier. When at least one is found, it will remove the freshly created bookmark and show a notification about it. On/Off switch is provided (resets on browser restart).

*URLs differ only after the '#' symbol are assumed to be identical, therefore it removes a bookmark referring to a(nother) label on a page that have already been bookmarked.

The reason for creating this extension is that the good old 'Bookmark Duplicate Detector' has became unusable after the Quantum update.
