Don't know if this is a rollout feature or not, but I have it on my version of Canary to test...

This is good, I don't have any duplicates at the moment, and since it's not possible to create duplicated favorites manually and intentionally (because you can't add the same URL twice to the favorites) I hope I never see it but **bleep** you had 3 thousands duplicates.
" I hope I never see it but **bleep** you had 3 thousands duplicates." lol yep.. I almost fell over when I saw that.. hahahahaha......

lol, guess that happens when you have been surfing the net for a whole lot of yearssssss, and working in computer labs in a locale college way back when.. etc... Some links are almost 30 years old.. hahahaha.

My first computer was before there was anything called windows. It was an old IBM that I built from spare parts from a computer lab I was in way back in my going to college days. There was no hard drives then. You had a 5 1/4" floppy which had your program, which you loaded into your pc, and then you remove it and put a blank 5 1/4 in to store your data on... 

Here is a photo of that PC...

Dang, that feeling of nostalgia, my generation never had to deal with floppy disks,
if you really have time you should recheck those bookmarks cause i'm sure lots of them are pointing to nowhere now since they are too old and the web servers hosting those sites are either down or their URLs/domains have changed, happens to me sometimes when my bookmarks are few years old (3-4 years)

Running MS-DOS and floppy disks beats using punch cards...

hahahaha.. forgot about punch cards..... lol Don't remember ever using them, but they were part of my studies as a "in the beginning" classes I had t take, way, way back when....
