Track a whole page (Follow Links)

Normally you have to create a bookmark for each page you want to watch. If a whole site instead of single pages should be monitored, you can use the Follow Links feature which will automatically insert all links of a page as new bookmarks. Several options let you define how many or which links should be inserted as new bookmarks, for example the link depth or an URL-In/Exclude filter.

The Follow Links feature consists of the "first" URL (also called Master-Bookmark) and the bookmarks which are inserted automatically. Master bookmarks have the image on the left side of the bookmark name and are normally sorted before all other bookmarks.

For all bookmarks which are inserted due to that feature, the Follow Links configuration is disabled. Changes to the Follow Links configuration can only be made in master bookmarks.

  1. Create a new folder (it's highly recommended to put each Master-Bookmark into a separate folder)
  2. Create a new bookmark and enter the URL
  3. Select the Advanced tab
  4. Select Follow Links on the left side
  5. Enable the option "Follow links (check whole site)"
  6. Enter/change the follow links configuration
