Trying to get Alfred 3.6 to index all of Chrome's bookmarks in multiple profiles

[imagreenplant]

Hi there.

 

I just upgraded from Alfred 2 and signed up for Alfred 3 powerpack.  Previously I was able to sync the default profile for Chrome and its bookmarks using Brow.  I see now that Alfred 3 has this in place already.   That's great!

 

Now, I notice I can pull from different profiles in Chrome in the settings, but I don't see a way to pull from ALL of the profiles.  I have 5.

 

Is there a way to do this, to index bookmarks from ALL 5 of my chrome profiles?

 

Thank you for your help.

No. It is an often-requested feature, however. I'd say that the chances are good that it'll be added at some point.

Hi folks, any word on this one?

 

Would be great to launch bookmarks from any profile.  I don't need any functionality to determine which profile one is coming from... just to simply index all the bookmarks from all profiles and be able to launch them with Alfred.

 

Thank you so much!!!

This is a must have for me. In addition to not indexing bookmarks from all profiles, it sometimes seems like the bookmarks are opened in a 'random' Chrome profile.

That's because Chrome does not provide any way to open a bookmark in a specific profile. As such, all Alfred (or any other application) can do is ask Chrome to open a URL. What happens after that is entirely up to Chrome (which is typically to open the bookmark in the frontmost window).

Also, right now Alfred only offers 2 options for opening these links:

• in macOS default browser
• in bookmark's source browser 

For opening in private windows or for when you have many Chrome profiles these two options aren' ideal.

If you could add an option to open in: 

• last selected browser window

This would be a game changer 🤞 This is currently how 1Password integration works and it's super nice. I always get confused when Alfred Bookmarks behaves differently.

1Password integration with what? Alfred's 1Password integration, or Chrome's 1Password integration?
