I want to make it easier for a user to import bookmarks to my server. Is there anyway to automate this process using javascript to obtain the user\'s bookmarks? I\'m assumin

Answer 1

The browser is obviously aware of their bookmarks, but no, JS cannot access this information - it would be leaking private data as you yourself have noted.

Anything you can do in JS with the user's permission can be done without their permission. The only manual control they have is "Run scripts" or "Don't".
