For now you can manually edit the configuration to remplace the URL, I think we'll remove all the url validation from homarr at some point as users should be smart enough to enter a link that works for them

manuel-rw commented 2 days ago

This should be a valid value for external URL (not for internal!)

I use homarr as my start page, for now there is no way to open chrome bookmarks page, I think I need it.

I have 200+ bookmarks, I don't want add all of them to homarr.

manuel-rw commented 1 day ago

Yes, I understand. But have you tired to add an app where you set chrome:// only in the external URL? The internal URL could be virtually anything with http or HTTPS

Aincvy commented 16 hours ago

The external URL field works, but when I click the app, I got a message Not allowed to load local resource: chrome://bookmarks/ in chrome dev-tools console . Is this another problem?

manuel-rw commented 10 hours ago

It's likely that this is a security feature of Chrome blocking your request, because websites should not redirect to potentially dangerous local sites (eg. where you could configure the browser). Source: https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/162698059?hl=en&msgid=162709271

I think you have two options:

Try to find an experimental switch or setting in Chrome to disable this security feature. Do this at your own risk and be aware of the drawbacks and dangers!
Export your bookmarks to Homarr or import them somewhere else and point a Homarr app to that link.

Can we consider your issue here as resolved? This is now a question of your organisation / setup and no longer an issue with Homarr.

I'm happy to assist if you need further help. Cheers 🥂

Closed as it already has a valid way to resolve the problem.
